      [PATCH] remove non-cleanroom pwc driver compression · 88c18346
      Alan Cox authored
      The original pwc author raised some questions about the reverse
      engineering of the decompressor algorithms used in the pwc driver.
      Having done some detailed investigation it appears those concerns that
      clean room policy was not followed are reasonable.  I've also had a
      friendly discussion with Philips to ask their view on this.
      
      This removes the problem items of code which reduces the pwc
      functionality in the kernel a little but leaves all the framework for
      setup that will be needed for decompressors in user space (where they
      eventually belong).  This change set is designed to be the minimal risk
      change set given that 2.6.12 is hopefully close to hand, with a view to
      merging the much updated pwc code in 2.6.13 series kernels.
      
      Someone else can then redo the decompressors properly (clean room) in
      user space.
      
      Note that while its easy to say that it should have been caught earlier,
      but the violation was really only obvious to someone who had access to
      both the proprietary source and the 'GPL' source.

      ide-cd: revert DMA mask test change · 5d9e4ea5
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The change to require the DMA length to be only word-aligned was not
      safe.
