513adb5868 fbdev: fix info->lock deadlock in fbcon_event_notify()
fb_notifier_call_chain() is called with info->lock held, i.e.  in
do_fb_ioctl() => FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO => fb_set_var() and the some
notifier callbacks, like fbcon_event_notify(), try to re-acquire
info->lock again.

Remove the lock/unlock_fb_info() in all the framebuffer notifier
callbacks' and be sure to always call fb_notifier_call_chain() with
info->lock held.

66c1ca0190 fbmem: fix fb_info->lock and mm->mmap_sem circular locking dependency
Fix a circular locking dependency in the frame buffer console driver
pushing down the mutex fb_info->lock.

Circular locking dependecies occur calling the blocking
fb_notifier_call_chain() with fb_info->lock held.  Notifier callbacks can
try to acquire mm->mmap_sem, while fb_mmap() acquires the locks in the
reverse order mm->mmap_sem => fb_info->lock.

b3b4dc8840 lcd: fix oops if driver only interested in .set_power
The LCD driver core calls LCD drivers when either the blanking state or
the display mode has changed, but does not make any check to see if the
called driver has a .set_mode method.

This means if a driver only has a .set_power method then the system will
OOPS on changing mode (and with the console semaphore held so you cannot
easily see the problem).

Fix the problem by ensuring that either callback is valid before use.

0c531360ed lcd: add lcd_device to check_fb() entry in lcd_ops
Add the lcd_device being checked to the check_fb entry of lcd_ops.  This
ensures that any driver using this to check against it's own state can do
so, and also makes all the calls in lcd_ops more orthogonal in their
arguments.

655bfd7aeb backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct device
Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device
to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.

One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.

7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

733482e445 [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason
This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
