cycle_kernel_lock() got pushed down to ipath_open(). I tried hard to understand what it might protect, but finally gave up. Roland noted that qlogic seems to have abandoned the ipath driver and came to the following wise conclusion: "So I guess if the BKL stuff is blocking you in any way, we can just drop it from ipath and leave it as yet another race condition in a rotting old driver."

cycle_kernel_lock() was added during the big BKL pushdown. It should ensure the serializiation against driver init code. tb0219_base is initialized before the character device is registered, but the spinlock is not initialized. Initialize the spinlock statically and remove cycle_kernel_lock().

Remove the empty ioctl and the cycle_kernel_lock() in eisa_eeprom_open() which got there with the big BKL push down. There is nothing to wait for and sychronize with after the misc device has been registered. Remove the empty ioctl as well. The generic code handles the -ENOTTY if no ioctl function is provided.

The ans-lcd driver got the cycle_kernel_lock() in anslcd_open() from the BKL pushdown and it still uses the locked ioctl. The BKL serialization in this driver is more than obscure and definitely does not cover all possible corner cases. Protect the access to the hardware with a local mutex and get rid of BKL and locked ioctl.

There is nothing to protect inside nvram_llseek(), the file offset doesn't need to be protected and nvram_len is only initialized from an __init path. It's safe to remove the big kernel lock there.

The generic open callback for the mem class devices is "protected" by the bkl. Let's look at the datas manipulated inside memory_open: - inode and file: safe - the devlist: safe because it is constant - the memdev classes inside this array are safe too (constant) After we find out which memdev file operation we need to use, we call its open callback. Depending on the targeted memdev, we call either open_port() that doesn't manipulate any racy data (just a capable() check), or we call nothing. So it's safe to remove the big kernel lock there.

After a reboot on an ARM1176 which amounts to a softreset, it has been noted that the ALSA driver does not get registered and the probe fails with the error "aaci-pl041 fpga:04: ac97 read back fail". In the process of reading from a register the SL1TxBusy bit is set indicating that the transceiver is busy and remains so until the default timeout occurs. Set the Power down register 0x26 to an arbitrary value as specified in the PL041 manual (page: 3-18) so that AACISL1TX/AACISL2TX registers take their default state.

On FSC laptops, the sound gets muted gradually when the volume is chnaged. This is due to the wrong volume-knob widget setup. The delta bit (bit 7) shouldn't be set for these devices. This patch adds a new quirk to set the value 0x7f to the widget 0x24 instead of 0xff.

This avoids updating the superblock write time when we are mounting the root file system read/only but we need to replay the journal; at that point, for people who are east of GMT and who make their clock tick in localtime for Windows bug-for-bug compatibility, and this will cause e2fsck to complain and force a full file system check.
