2011-11-23regulator: map consumer regulator based on device treeRajendra Nayak
Device nodes in DT can associate themselves with one or more regulators/supply by providing a list of phandles (to regulator nodes) and corresponding supply names. For Example: devicenode: node@0x0 { ... ... vmmc-supply = <&regulator1>; vpll-supply = <&regulator2>; }; The driver would then do a regulator_get(dev, "vmmc"); to get regulator1 and do a regulator_get(dev, "vpll"); to get regulator2. of_get_regulator() extracts the regulator node for a given device, based on the supply name. Use it to look up the regulator for a given consumer from device tree, during a regulator_get(). If not found fallback and lookup through the regulator_map_list instead. Also, since the regulator dt nodes can use the same binding to associate with a parent regulator/supply, allow the drivers to specify a supply_name, which can then be used to lookup dt to find the parent phandle.

2011-11-23regulator: pass additional of_node to regulator_register()Rajendra Nayak
With device tree support for regulators, its needed that the regulator_dev->dev device has the right of_node attached. To be able to do this add an additional parameter to the regulator_register() api, wherein the dt-adapted driver can then pass this additional info onto the regulator core.

2011-11-23regulator: adapt fixed regulator driver to dtRajendra Nayak
The fixed regulator driver uses of_get_fixed_voltage_config() to extract fixed_voltage_config structure contents from device tree. Also add documenation for additional bindings for fixed regulators that can be passed through dt.

2011-11-23regulator: helper routine to extract regulator_init_dataRajendra Nayak
The helper routine is meant to be used by the regulator drivers to extract the regulator_init_data structure from the data that is passed from device tree. 'consumer_supplies' which is part of regulator_init_data is not extracted as the regulator consumer mappings are passed through DT differently, implemented in subsequent patches. Similarly the regulator<-->parent/supply mapping is handled in subsequent patches. Also add documentation for regulator bindings to be used to pass regulator_init_data struct information from device tree. Some of the regulator properties which are linux and board specific, are left out since its not clear if they can be in someway embedded into the kernel or passed in from DT. They will be revisited later. Signed-off-by: Rajendra Nayak <rnayak@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>

2011-11-23regulator: TPS65910: Fix VDD1/2 voltage selector countAfzal Mohammed
Count of selector voltage is required for regulator_set_voltage to work via set_voltage_sel. VDD1/2 currently have it as zero, so regulator_set_voltage won't work for VDD1/2. Update count (n_voltages) for VDD1/2. Output Voltage = (step value * 12.5 mV + 562.5 mV) * gain With above expr, number of voltages that can be selected is step value count * gain count constant for gain count will be called VDD1_2_NUM_VOLT_COARSE existing constant for step value count is VDD1_2_NUM_VOLTS, use VDD1_2_NUM_VOLT_FINE instead to make clear that step value is not the only component in deciding selectable voltage count Signed-off-by: Afzal Mohammed <afzal@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>

2011-11-22Revert "of/irq: of_irq_find_parent: check for parent equal to child"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit dc9372808412edbc653a675a526c2ee6c0c14a91. As requested by Ben Herrenschmidt: "This breaks some powerpc platforms at least. The practice of having a node provide an explicit "interrupt-parent" property pointing to itself is an old trick that we've used in the past to allow a device-node to have interrupts routed to different controllers. In that case, the node also contains an interrupt-map, so the node is its own parent, the interrupt resolution hits the map, which then can route each individual interrupt to a different parent." Grant says: "Ah, nuts, yes that is broken then. Yes, please revert the commit and Rob & I will come up with a better solution. Rob, I think it can be done by explicitly checking for np == desc->interrupt_parent in of_irq_init() instead of relying on of_irq_find_parent() returning NULL."

The log replay code only partially loads block groups, since the block group caching code is able to detect and deal with extents the logging code has pinned down. While the logging code is pinning down block groups, there is a bogus WARN_ON we're hitting if the code wasn't able to find an extent in the cache.

2011-11-20VFS: Log the fact that we've given ELOOP rather than creating a loopDavid Howells
To prevent an NFS server from being used to create a directory loop in an NFS superblock on the client, the following patch was committed: commit 1836750115f20b774e55c032a3893e8c5bdf41ed Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Tue Jul 12 21:42:24 2011 -0400 Subject: fix loop checks in d_materialise_unique() This causes ELOOP to be reported to anyone trying to access the dentry that would otherwise cause the kernel to complete the loop. However, no indication is given to the caller as to why an operation that ought to work doesn't. The fault is with the kernel, which doesn't want to try and solve the problem as it gets horrendously messy if there's another mountpoint somewhere in the trees being spliced that can't be moved[*]. [*] The real problem is that we don't handle the excision of a subtree that gets moved _out_ of what we can see. This can happen on the server where a directory is merely moved between two other dirs on the same filesystem, but where destination dir is not accessible by the client. So, given the choice to return ELOOP rather than trying to reconfigure the dentry tree, we should give the caller some indication of why they aren't being allowed to make what should be a legitimate request and log a message.
