Valid known CIS tuples are now silently queued for the SDIO function
driver when not parsed/processed (-EILSEQ) by the SDIO core.  Unknown CIS

aborting the initialization, but emit a warning in the kernel log.

CISTPL_FUNCE tuples can be "whitelisted" now by adding a matching entry to

Some new registers are added and a particular way of handling DMA
interaction lead to a new sequence in function call which is backward
compatible: On MCI2, we must set the DMAEN bit to enable the DMA
handshaking interface.  This must happen before the data transfer command
is sent.

A new function is able to differentiate MCI2 code and is based on
knowledge of processor id (cpu_is_xxx()).

Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off

redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.

However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.

This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).



This patch:

Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.

Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.

The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

because the old geode GPIO code was written in a manner that assumed

Tested on an OLPC machine.  Some Leemotes also use CS5536 (with a mips

Currently, it conflicts with older geode GPIO support; once MFGPT support

First of all, the range for dynamic numbers include some statically
allocated numbers.  It goes from 63 to 0, and we have numbers in the range
from 1 to 15 already allocated.  Although, it gives priority to the higher
and not allocated numbers, we may end up in a situation where we must
reject registering a driver which got a static number because a driver got
its number with dynamic allocation.  Considering fs/dlm/user.c allocates
as many misc devices as lockspaces are created, and that we have more than
50 users around, it's not unreasonable to reach that situation.

The proposed solution uses the not yet reserved range from 64 to 127.  If
more devices are needed, we may push 64 to 16.
