  • There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
    then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
    sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
    sorts of bad things to happen.

    This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
    device_create_drvdata().

  • Some drivers have duplicated unlikely() macros. IS_ERR() already has
    unlikely() in itself.

    This patch cleans up such pointless code.

  • The LEDS infrastructure itself does not require anything
    that a platform dependant upon HAS_IOMEM.

    The individual drivers do, but they are properly guarded
    with the necessary platform dependencies.

    One can even imagine a hypervisor based LED driver that
    a platform without HAS_IOMEM might have.

  • After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
    semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
    concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be
    too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
    before it happened, we had introduced the functions
    device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
    drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
    drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
    it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
    normal device unregistration instead.

  • Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform
    modalias is prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the
    hotpluggable platform LED drivers, to re-enable auto loading.

  • This is a LED driver using the PWM on newer SOCs from Atmel; brightness is
    controlled by changing the PWM duty cycle. So for example if you've set up
    two leds labeled "pwm0" and "pwm1":

    echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # off (0%)
    echo 80 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness
    echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # on (100%)

    Note that "brightness" here isn't linear; maybe that should change. Going
    from 4 to 8 probably doubles perceived brightness, while 244 to 248 is
    imperceptible.

    This is mostly intended to be a simple example of PWM, although it's
    realistic since LCD backlights are often driven with PWM to conserve
    battery power (and offer brightness options).

  • Three bugfixes to the leds-gpio driver, plus minor whitespace tweaks:

    - Do the INIT_WORK() before registering each LED, so if its trigger
    becomes immediately active it can schedule work without oopsing..

    - Use normal registration, not platform_driver_probe(), so that
    devices appearing "late" (hotplug type) can still be bound.

    - Mark the driver remove code as "__devexit", preventing oopses
    when the underlying device is removed.

    These issues came up when using this driver with some GPIO expanders
    living on serial busses, which act unlike "normal" platform devices:
    they can appear and vanish along with the serial bus driver.

  • Remove the following redundant and never or rarely used kconfig syntax:

    - "def_boolean" (same as "def_bool")
    - "requires" (same as "depends on")
    - "depends" (same as "depends on")

    This patch contains the code changes and Kconfig updates.
    The shipped files are in next patch to let actual codechange stand out.
