Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

mmc: mmc_test: avoid stalled file in debugfs

mmc: sdhci: fix retuning timer wrongly deleted in sdhci_tasklet_finish
Currently, the retuning timer for retuning mode 1 will be deleted in
function sdhci_tasklet_finish after a mmc request done, which will make
retuning timing never trigger again. This patch fixed this problem.

The logic at em28xx_isoc_dvb_max_packetsize() sucks, at least for newer
the needed packet size. Yet, it is better than nothing.
Rewrite the code in order to change the default to 752 for em2884 and
newer chips and provide a better way to handle per-chipset specifics.
For em2874, the current default should be enough, as the only em2874
board is currently a 1-seg ISDB-T board, so, it needs only a limited
amount of bandwidth.
[media] tda18271c2dd: Fix saw filter configuration for DVB-C @6MHz
Currently, the driver assumes that all QAM carriers are spaced with
8MHz. This is wrong, and may decrease QoS on Countries like Brazil,
that have DVB-C carriers with 6MHz-spaced.
Fortunately, both ITU-T J-83 and EN 300 429 specifies a way to
associate the symbol rate with the bandwidth needed for it.
For ITU-T J-83 2007 annex A, the maximum symbol rate for 6 MHz is:
6 MHz / 1.15 = 5217391 Bauds
For ITU-T J-83 2007 annex C, the maximum symbol rate for 6 MHz is:
6 MHz / 1.13 = 5309735 Bauds.
As this tuner is currently used only for DRX-K, and it is currently
hard-coded to annex A, I've opted to use the roll-off factor of 0.15,
instead of 0.13.
If we ever support annex C, the better would be to add a DVB S2API
call to allow changing between Annex A and C, and add the 0.13 roll-off
factor to it.
This code is currently being used on other frontends, so I think we
should later add a core function with this code, to warrant that
it will be properly implemented everywhere.

hwmon: (lm90) Make SA56004 detection more robust
With a device ID register value of 0, the SA56004 detection is rather

hwmon: (lm90) Simplify handling of extended local temp register
The optional extended local temperature register can never have
address 0, as this address is already used by another register. Thus
we can get rid of flag LM90_HAVE_LOCAL_EXT and simply rely on
reg_local_ext being non-zero to determine if a given chip has this
extension or not. This makes the code more simple.
Most PMBus devices provide manufacturer specific commands to read low and/or
high peak values for some or all of its sensors.
To support providing those values as lowest/highest attributes to the user,
introduce virtual PMBus commands. Those commands reside outside the normal
command set and have to be implemented in device specific code, which map the
virtual commands to device specific commands.
hwmon: (pmbus) Strengthen check for status register existence
With virtual register page support, it is now possible that the status register
on virtual pages does not exist or is itself virtual. To take this into account
when creating alarm attributes, generate those attributes only if the status
register on the respective page is known to exist.
Some PMBus chips have non-standard sensor registers. An easy way to
support such sensors is to introduce virtual pages and map the non-standard
registers into standard registers on an extra page.
For this to work, the code verifying if the configured number of pages exists
has to be removed. Since a wrong number of pages can only be configured in a
front-end driver, this should not have a practical impact since the resulting
errors should be found during development and testing.
Also, functions to read the chip status while checking if a command register
exists must be modified to no longer set the page register before reading the
status, since the physical page associated with the checked register may not
exist. This does not make a functional difference since the page was already set
when the attempt to read the register was made.
hwmon: (pmbus) Support reading and writing of word registers in device specific code
Some PMBus devices use non-standard registers for some of the sensors and/or
limits. To support such devices, add code to support reading and writing of word
size registers in device specific code.
Some hwmon sysfs attributes have a length of 20 bytes (plus terminating 0).
I2C_NAME_SIZE is defined as 20 and thus can not be used to define the length
of hwmon sysfs attributes. Replace it with PMBUS_NAME_SIZE, set to 24.

voltage selection such as NCP4200 and NCP4208.
