  • This code elsewhere returns a negative constant to an indicate an error,
    while IS_ERR returns the result of a >= operation.

    The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
    (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

    //
    @@
    expression x;
    @@

    if (...) { ...
    - return IS_ERR(x);
    + return PTR_ERR(x);
    }
    //

  • The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
    result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
    acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()

    This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
    implications about the underlying lock.

    The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
    inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()

    This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
    a mutex.

  • backlight_device_register has been expecting a const "ops" argument, and using
    it as such, since 9905a43b2d563e6f89e4c63c4278ada03f2ebb14. Let's make the
    remaining backlight_ops instances const.

    Inspired by hunks of the grsecurity patch, updated for newer kernels.

  • Qualcomm development of the MSM SOC framebuffer driver has
    diverged significantly from the driver used by Android. This
    is a snapshot of our current driver, in all it's agony. We are
    putting this in staging to help with the process of converging
    the two drivers.

    At this point, the driver has been tested only in dumb
    framebuffer mode.
