a74ea43df1 of/promtree: allow DT device matching by fixing 'name' brokenness (v5)
Commit e2f2a93b, "of/promtree: add package-to-path support to pdt"
changed dp->name from using the 'name' property to using
package-to-path.  This fixed /proc/device-tree creation by eliminating
conflicts between names (the 'name' property provides names like
'battery', whereas package-to-path provides names like
'/foo/bar/battery@0', which we stripped to 'battery@0').  However, it
also breaks of_device_id table matching.

The fix that we _really_ wanted was to keep dp->name based upon
the name property ('battery'), but based dp->full_name upon
package-to-path ('battery@0').  This patch does just that.

This changes all users (except SPARC) of promtree to use the full
result from package-to-path for full_name, rather than stripping the
directory out.  In practice, the strings end up being exactly the
same; this change saves time, code, and memory.

SPARC continues to use the existing build_path_component() code.

v2: combine two patches and revert of_pdt_node_name to original version
v3: use dp->phandle instead of passing around node
v4: warn/bail out for non-sparc archs if pkg2path is not set
v5: split of_pdt_build_full_name into sparc & non-sparc versions
v6: Pass NULL to pkg2path before buf gets assigned.
    Drop check for pkg2path hook on each and every node.
v7: Don't BUG() when unable to get the full_path; create a
    known-unique name instead.

e8a80c6f76 ext2: Fix link count corruption under heavy link+rename load
vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.

In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

77bd70e900 mfd: Don't suspend WM8994 if the CODEC is not suspended
ASoC supports keeping the audio subsysetm active over suspend in order
to support use cases such as audio passthrough from a cellular modem
with the main CPU suspended. Ensure that we don't power down the CODEC
when this is happening by checking to see if VMID is up and skipping
suspend and resume when it is. If the CODEC has suspended then it'll
turn VMID off before the core suspend() gets called.

8f5bc2abfd [CPUFREQ] fix BUG on cpufreq policy init failure
cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and
placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init
function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in
cpufreq_register_driver. Now, cpufreq_register_driver returns an error
without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL.

Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the
error to the module init function and return that.

So a later access to any member of cpufreq_driver causes bugs like:

It's all cause by weird fail path handling in cpufreq_register_driver.
To fix that, shuffle the code to do proper handling with gotos.

a536b126f2 [CPUFREQ] Fix another notifier leak in powernow-k8.
Do the notifier registration later, so we don't have to worry
about freeing it if we fail the msr allocation.

ac81831449 [CPUFREQ] Missing "unregister_cpu_notifier" in powernow-k8.c
It appears that when powernow-k8 finds that

    No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found.

 and suggests

    Try again with latest BIOS.

 it fails the module load, but does not unregister the cpu_notifier that was
 registered in powernowk8_init

 This ends up leaving freed memory on the cpu notifier list for some other
 poor module (e.g. md/raid5) to come along and trip over.

 The following might be a partial fix, but I suspect there is probably other
 clean-up that is needed.

 ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655215 has full dmesg traces).

6927faf309 drm/i915: fix memory corruption with GM965 and >4GB RAM
On a Thinkpad x61s, I noticed some memory corruption when
plugging/unplugging the external VGA connection. The symptoms are that
4 bytes at the beginning of a page get overwritten by zeroes.
The address of the corruption varies when rebooting the machine, but
stays constant while it's running (so it's possible to repeatedly write
some data and then corrupt it again by plugging the cable).

Further investigation revealed that the corrupted address is
(dev_priv->status_page_dmah->busaddr & 0xffffffff), ie. the beginning of
the hardware status page of the i965 graphics card, cut to 32 bits.

So it seems that for some memory access, the hardware uses only 32 bit
addressing. If the hardware status page is located >4GB, this
corrupts unrelated memory.
