This updates some error reporting paths in SPI device setup:
- Move validation logic for SPI chipselects to spi_new_device(),
which is where it should always have been.
- In spi_new_device(), emit error messages if the device can't
be created. This is LOTS better than a silent failure; though
eventually, the calling convention should probably change to
use the <linux/err.h> conventions.
- Includes one previously-missing check: SPI masters must always
have at least one chipselect, even for dedicated busses which
always keep it selected!
It also adds a FIXME (IDR for dynamic ID allocation) so the issue doesn't live
purely in my mailbox.

msg->u.head[1] = cpu_to_le32(I2O_CMD_PRIVATE << 24 | HOST_TID << 12 | tid);
and I2O_CMD_PRIVATE is defined as 0xFF. This gets "0xFF0100 | tid" and fits
into 32-bit unsigned but not into 32-bit signed integer properly. Target
value is defined as u32 so the claculation does not fit during computation.
Change local variable tid to u32 so the whole expression is of u32 type and
fits well into u32 result.

There's a memory leak in the cciss driver.
in alloc_cciss_hba() we may leak sizeof(ctlr_info_t) bytes if a
call to alloc_disk(1 << NWD_SHIFT) fails.
This patch should fix the issue.

This is a set of small fixes addressing points raised with the original
driver submission. In particular, __maybe_unused is used rather than a
local hack and sbd_ops is made const. Additionally I have made two local
string variables automatic as rodata space was wasted for pointers
unnecessarily.

This is only called at init time and only happens if the BIOS screws
something up, so the leak is slight and it is probably not worth sending to
2.6.22.x. The driver would not initialize the interface in the case, and I
have no reports of this happening. I have booted and run tests on a system
with this patch. Note that the original patch was munged by the mailer,
here's a new one.
If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(),
then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned
to 'info'.

The patch in commit ID f7232056bf stops (aborts)
the MPSC's receive engine just before restarting it. Unfortunately, it
doesn't wait for the abort to complete before restarting it which creates a
race between the abort and the restart. If the restart occurs first, the
in-progress abort stops it again and the rx engine remains stopped.
Instead, do the abort when the SDMA engine is being stopped. Make sure to
wait for the abort to complete before continuing.

The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to
ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering
optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior.
This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point
at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after
list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.

The spidev driver doesn't currently expose all SPI communications modes to
userspace. This passes them all through to the driver.
Two of them are potentially troublesome, in the sense that they could cause
hardware conflicts on shared busses. It might be appropriate to add some
privilege checks for for those modes.

Is there a reason why the "online" file in the subdirectories for the CPUs
in /sys/devices/system isn't world-readable? I cannot imagine it to be
security relevant especially now that a getcpu() syscall can be used to
determine what CPUa thread runs on.
The file is useful to correctly implement the sysconf() function to return
the number of online CPUs. In the presence of hotplug we currently cannot
provide this information. The patch below should to it.

Revert 7e92b4fc34. It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)
This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."
It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something
that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel
platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,
and your box won't have a serial port either! :)
I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to
rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why
risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?
It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.
Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.
