An earlier patch caused trouble because it effectively removed the
US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY flag for devices with release number higher than
0x5009.  This one might cause problems because it explicitly goes
against the immediately preceding comment in unusual_devs.h.  That
comment says that these Casio digital cameras claim to use the CBI
transport when in fact they only use CB.  However, there have been two
reports in the last few weeks from people getting the "unneeded SubClass
and Protocol" log messages.  One of them was using a device with release
number 0x1000, right at the start of the range.  The other had a device
with release number 0x5010, just beyond the end of the current range.

Maybe Casio is marketing two different devices with different behaviors
but having the same Vendor, Product, and Release values -- I don't know.

its for the Jenoptik JD 5200 z3 Digicam, to enable it to work as a simple
storage device

more or less i took the values for the 0x0d96 vendor in the 2.6.0-test7
usb-storage and mixed them with my device id, which seems to work quite well

tested with 2.4.22 kernel

Patch by me (Ian Abbott).  Removed aliases of FTDI_VID define for
consistency.  Renamed FTDI_PERLE_PID to FTDI_PERLE_ULTRAPORT_PID.
Removed Matrix Orbital and Perle Systems devices from the 8U232AM
device table (but left them in the FT232BM device table) as they
are known to be FT232BM devices.

Scott Allen's patch to add vid/pid support for Perle Systems
UltraPort USB serial converter, merged up with minor whitespace
changes by myself (Ian Abbott).

Please merge this patch.  I've had two success reports from it.
Putback comment can be:

  Fixes some long-standing cdc-acm bugs including:
  - Oopsing
  - Probe messages not so excessive
  - Makes /proc/bus/usb/devices show both interface claims
  - Now cdc_acm won't hotplug for Ethernet devices (or RNDIS)

* ax8817x_set_multicast - use address of dev->data, not contents
* ax8817x_write_async_cmd - free request and urb if submit fails

I'm doing an audit wrt copy_to_user leaking info to userspace, started
with drivers/usb, please apply.

Fix breakage in reiserfs/procfs.c iterator.

Nikita had ACKed the patch.

From ramon_garcia_f@yahoo.com:

 "I am experiencing lost interrupts when writting (but not when reading)
  to an IOMEGA Zip drive with the ATAPI floppy driver.

  The driver seems to be aware of the problem and has a workaround for
  it.  Unfortunately my drive is not detected as an IOMEGA drive.  The
  reason is that the model of my drive is "IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI Floppy"
  instead of "IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI", that is what the driver expects. "

The forward static declaration in a header is a) weird and b) generates a

The attached patch corrects case sensitivity in the mandocs make target.
XML is case insensitive, and a bunch of the kernel-doc assumes this.  The
makeman and splitman scripts incorrectly cared about case.  This patch also
updates the Docbook DTD version which the script generates.

This patch adds a file to the root selinuxfs directory which returns the

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk

* drivers/block/initrd.c gone

* chunk of memory where the current tree would look for intird image is
  checked for being a valid initramfs image first; then, it is either
  unpacked (in addition to normal built-in image) or, if it wasn't a valid
  image, copied into a regular file on rootfs called /dev/initrd.  Then
  memory is freed.

Result:

a) we can put initramfs image in place of initrd one and kernel will DTRT.

b) initrd images still work as usual; code that shoves the thing to
   ramdisk, etc.  doesn't care whether it reads from a block device or
   regular file.

c) initrd.c is gone, so is fake block device and a lot of irregularities
   with it.

It has been in -mm for almost two weeks with no reported problems.
