-  Use down() not down_interruptible() while waiting for mailbox
   completions.
  
        o down_interruptible() is the wrong thing to do here 
          (in case a signal hits you sooo do the wrong thing
          and corrupt the semaphore)

        o Asynchronous IOCB handling is not available on 
          ISP6312 and ISP6322 type boards.
  
        o Firmware type (FLX) desgnation fix. 

-  Clean up some extraneous code:
  
        o Remove duplicate call to qla2x00_config_os().
        o Remove unused structure member rsvd in struct dev_id.

-  Create single module firmware loaders for each firmware image

RIO mode 3 (originally used in the qla2xxx driver) will not work on
big-endian platforms due to the firmware returning only the first-word
of the dword command handle returned after SCSI completion.  Use RIO
mode 4 since full 32bit handle is returned during status.

I've recently added an IBM p630 machine (ppc64) to my test ring with a
mix of 2200 and 2300 cards -- I feel fairly confident that most endian
type issues are addressed.

The driver does not issue GFT_IDs for each of the ports discovered
during its SNS scan.  Remove unused code.

From: 	Andrew Vasquez <andrew.vasquez@qlogic.com>

The 2200 firmware doesn't support the MS IOCB interface the driver 
uses to issue CT commands to the SNS.  Basically, I had to 
forward-port some code from the 6.x driver to get the SNS calls 
to go through.  I've had several machines (mixture of 2200s/
2300s/others with loop and fabric connections) running with this
patch for the past week.

A very simple patch against 2.6.0 follows, which fixes an improper file
reference in the scsi sym53c8xx_2 driver help text. The referenced
documentation file was moved in 2.5.48 but the help text was not updated
accordingly.

In drivers/scsi/aha1542.c, kmalloc() is called with no memtype (i.e.
without some flag like GFP_KERNEL). The following patch will fix that.

From: Timmy Yee <shoujun@masterofpi.org>

The aha1542 driver calls panic() if kmalloc() fails, which it shouldn't
do. This patch changes that by having the code return a nonzero value, so
it tells the SCSI mid-layer to retry the command, as suggested by Randy.

Attached is an updated patch adding the cdev_unmap() call
which Kai Makisara reported as required.

Ouch.  No, of course not, you are right.  Thanks for pointing.  I
thought I had moved the port testing to aha152x_probe_one...

Following patch cleans that up.

The port test during autoconfiguration was also done without requesting
the region first and there was a bug in auto configuration of a TC1550
controller (both even before the patch).

attached my patch for the aha152x driver.  Tested for pcmcia and not
pcmcia and various devices.

changes in the aha152x driver:
- gather code that is not used by PCMCIA at the end
- move request_region for !PCMCIA case to detection
- migration to new scsi host api (remove legacy code)
- free host scribble before scsi_done
- fix error handling
- one isapnp device added to id_table

and in the pcmcia stub module:
- default to synchronous transfers
- release_region hack removed
- let core module do the scsi host api calls.

The patch at the end of this message fixes the following problems:

- cdev allocation moved outside st_dev_arr_lock, prevents the debugging
error messages reported by Mike and Mike
- cdev_unmap() added before cdev_del(), prevents oops (and kernel data
corruption) in case someone tries to use a device after removing the
module
- better error handling for failures in cdev allocation

As far as I am concerned, the patch is tested but testing by others might
be useful :-)

tty->driver_data or state->port may end up being NULL in uart_close.
Make sure that we correctly clean up in this case, rather than
oopsing.

There is no way that tty can be NULL in uart_put_char() and
uart_write().  Eliminate these redundant tests.

There's an exit path in i8042_interrupt() which forgets to rearm the timer.

It seems 8139cp.c has the race condition of rx_poll and interrupt.

NOTE, since I don't have this device, patch is untested. Sorry.

I got a Wacom Graphire3 for my birthday and unfortunately it didn't
work. After some playing around, I noticed the 2.6 kernel needs a few
small modifications to make it work.

This simple patch adds support for the Wacom Graphire 3.
