bc2b395c03 [media] tea575x: fix HW seek
Fix HW seek in TEA575x to work properly:
- a delay must be present after search start and before first register read
  or the seek does weird things
- when the search stops, the new frequency is not available immediately, we
  must wait until it appears in the register (fortunately, we can clear the
  frequency bits when starting the search as it starts at the frequency
  currently set, not from the value written)
- sometimes, seek remains on the current frequency (or moves only a little),
  so repeat it until it moves by at least 50 kHz

d4ecc83b79 [media] tea575x-tuner: update to latest V4L2 framework requirements
The tea575x-tuner module has been updated to use the latest V4L2 framework
functionality. This also required changes in the drivers that rely on it.

The tea575x changes are:

- The drivers must provide a v4l2_device struct to the tea module.
- The radio_nr module parameter must be part of the actual radio driver,
  and not of the tea module.
- Changed the frequency range to the normal 76-108 MHz range instead of
  50-150.
- Add hardware frequency seek support.
- Fix broken rxsubchans/audmode handling.
- The application can now select between stereo and mono.
- Support polling for control events.
- Add V4L2 priority handling.

And radio-sf16fmr2.c now uses the isa bus kernel framework.

273b72c8ce ASoC: pxa-ssp: atomically set stream active masks
PXA's SSP engine fails to take its current channel phase into account
when enabling a stream while the engine is already running. This
results in randomly swapped left/right channels on either the record
or the playback side, depending on which one was enabled first.

The following patch fixes this by factoring out the bit field
modifications in question to a separate function that pauses the
engine temporarily, modifies the bits and kicks it off again
afterwards. Appearantly, a transition of SSCR0_SSE syncs both
directions properly.

The patch has been rolled out to quite a number of devices over the
last weeks and seems to fix the issue reliably.

5e8e19bf6c EDAC: Correct scrub rate API
The original scrub rate API definition states that if scrub rate
accessors are not implemented, a negative value (-1) should be written
to the sysfs file (/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc<N>/sdram_scrub_rate,
where N is the memory controller number on the system). This is
counter-intuitive and awkward at the very least because, when setting
the scrub rate, userspace has to write to sysfs and then read it back to
check error status of the operation.

As Tony notes, best it would be to not have the sdram_scrub_rate in
sysfs if scrub rate support is not implemented. It is too late about
that and a bunch of drivers on a bunch of arches would need to be
changed and tested which is not a trivial task ATM.

Instead, settle for the next best thing of returning -ENODEV when
implementation is missing and -EINVAL when there was an error
encountered while setting the scrub rate.

f92cae4526 amd64_edac: Fix missing csrows sysfs nodes

on only single memory channel whereas the module also assumed that a

instead of checking the memory on each channel.

d0962936bf md: fix clearing of the 'changed' flags for the bad blocks list.
In super_1_sync (the first hunk) we need to clear 'changed' before
checking read_seqretry(), otherwise we might race with other code
adding a bad block and so won't retry later.

In md_update_sb (the second hunk), in the case where there is no
metadata (neither persistent nor external), we treat any bad blocks as
an error.  However we need to clear the 'changed' flag before calling
md_ack_all_badblocks, else it won't do anything.

This patch is suitable for -stable release 3.0 and later.

space that has become available in component devices, not adding new
devices.
It also includes shrinking the array to take up less space of
component devices.

This is not supported for array with a 'far' layout.  However
for 'near' and 'offset' layout arrays, adding and removing space at
the end of the devices is easy to support, and this patch provides
that support.

6b740b8d79 md/raid1: handle merge_bvec_fn in member devices.
Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there
is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most.
This is not ideal.

So create a raid1 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children
as well.

This introduces a small problem.  There is no locking around calls
the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request.  So a
device added between these could end up getting a request which
violates its merge_bvec_fn.

Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched().  This will work
providing no preemption happens.  If there is is preemption, we just
have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices.
