IB/iser: Use separate buffers for the login request/response
The driver counted on the transactional nature of iSCSI login/text
flows and used the same buffer for both the request and the response.
We also went further and did DMA mapping only once, with
DMA_FROM_DEVICE, which violates the DMA mapping API. Fix that by
using different buffers, one for requests and one for responses, and
use the correct DMA mapping direction for each.

sysfs: Make sysfs_rename safe with sysfs_dirents in rbtrees.
In sysfs_rename we need to remove the optimization of not calling
sysfs_unlink_sibling and sysfs_link_sibling if the renamed parent
directory is not changing. This optimization is no longer valid now
that sysfs dirents are stored in an rbtree sorted by name.
Move the assignment of s_ns before the call of sysfs_link_sibling. With
no sysfs_dirent fields changing after the call of sysfs_link_sibling
this allows sysfs_link_sibling to take any of the directory entries into
account when it builds the rbtrees, and s_ns looks like a prime canidate
to be used in the rbtree in the future.

Commit 84c95c9acf0 ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces

Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code.
Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return
value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only
blanks or only trailing blanks.
Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks.
Before patch: " " -> "" (empty string)
After patch: " " -> " " (no change)
I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior.
The description (lib/string.c):
* Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator
=> The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace
characters is the first whitespace

leds: Renesas TPU LED driver
Add V2 of the LED driver for a single timer channel for the TPU hardware
block commonly found in Renesas SoCs.
The driver has been written with optimal Power Management in mind, so to
save power the LED is driven as a regular GPIO pin in case of maximum
brightness and power off which allows the TPU hardware to be idle and
which in turn allows the clocks to be stopped and the power domain to be
turned off transparently.
Any other brightness level requires use of the TPU hardware in PWM mode.
TPU hardware device clocks and power are managed through Runtime PM.
System suspend and resume is known to be working - during suspend the LED
is set to off by the generic LED code.
The TPU hardware timer is equipeed with a 16-bit counter together with an
up-to-divide-by-64 prescaler which makes the hardware suitable for
brightness control. Hardware blink is unsupported.
The LED PWM waveform has been verified with a Fluke 123 Scope meter on a
sh7372 Mackerel board. Tested with experimental sh7372 A3SP power domain
patches. Platform device bind/unbind tested ok.
V2 has been tested on the DS2 LED of the sh73a0-based AG5EVM.

backlight: fix broken regulator API usage in l4f00242t03
The regulator support in the l4f00242t03 is very non-idiomatic. Rather
than requesting the regulators based on the device name and the supply
names used by the device the driver requires boards to pass system
specific supply names around through platform data. The driver also
conditionally requests the regulators based on this platform data, adding
unneeded conditional code to the driver.
Fix this by removing the platform data and converting to the standard
idiom, also updating all in tree users of the driver. As no datasheet
appears to be available for the LCD I'm guessing the names for the
supplies based on the existing users and I've no ability to do anything
more than compile test.
The use of regulator_set_voltage() in the driver is also problematic,
since fixed voltages are required the expectation would be that the
voltages would be fixed in the constraints set by the machines rather than
manually configured by the driver, but is less problematic.

only. The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now
creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files
which are run on older kernels. They assume capabilities are available
which actually aren't. libcap-ng is one example. And we ran into the
same problem with systemd too.
Now the capability is exported in /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap.

watchdog: move watchdog_*_all_cpus under CONFIG_SYSCTL
Fix compilation warnings for CONFIG_SYSCTL=n:
fixed compilation warnings in case of disabled CONFIG_SYSCTL
kernel/watchdog.c:483:13: warning: `watchdog_enable_all_cpus' defined but not used
kernel/watchdog.c:500:13: warning: `watchdog_disable_all_cpus' defined but not used
these functions are static and are used only in sysctl handler, so move
them inside #ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL too
stop_machine: make stop_machine safe and efficient to call early
Make stop_machine() safe to call early in boot, before SMP has been set
up, by simply calling the callback function directly if there's only one
CPU online.
[ Fixes from AKPM:
- add comment
- local_irq_flags, not save_flags
- also call hard_irq_disable() for systems which need it
Tejun suggested using an explicit flag rather than just looking at
the online cpu count. ]

drivers/misc/ad525x_dpot-i2c.c: add i2c support for AD5161
Commit 6c536e4ce8e ("ad525x_dpot: add support for SPI parts") added
support for the AD5161 through SPI, but the device supports both I2C and
SPI (depending on the DIS pin), so add it to -i2c as well.

lis3lv02d: make regulator API usage unconditional
The regulator API contains a range of features for stubbing itself out
when not in use and for transparently restricting the actual effect of
regulator API calls where they can't be supported on a particular system
so that drivers don't need to individually implement this. Simplify the
driver slightly by making use of this idiom.
The only in tree user is ecovec24 which does not use the regulator API.

>From my POV, it looks like the hardware is not working as expected
and returns a bogus data rate. The driver doesn't check the result
and directly uses it as some sort of divisor in some places:
msleep(lis3->pwron_delay / lis3lv02d_get_odr());
Under this circumstances, this could very well cause the
"divide by zero" exception from above.
For now, I fixed it the easiest and most obvious way:
Check if the result is sane and if it isn't use a sane default
instead. I went for "100" in the latter case, simply because
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/rate returns it on a successful
boot.
