The awacs sound driver produces a false-positive warning in ppc64_defconfig:

sound/ppc/awacs.c: In function 'snd_pmac_awacs_init':
include/sound/control.h:219:9: warning: 'master_vol' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

I haven't come up with a good way to rewrite the code to avoid the
warning, so here is a bad one: I initialize the variable before
the conditionall initialization so gcc no longer has to worry about
it.

Drivers should include asm/pci-bridge.h only when they need the arch-
specific things provided there.  Outside of the arch/ directories, the only
drivers that actually need things provided by asm/pci-bridge.h are the
powerpc RPA hotplug drivers in drivers/pci/hotplug/rpa*.

Remove the includes of asm/pci-bridge.h from the other drivers, adding an
include of linux/pci.h if necessary.

The I2C core always reports the MODALIAS uevent as "i2c:&lt;client name"
regardless if the driver was matched using the I2C id_table or the
of_match_table. So the driver needs to export the I2C table and this
be built into the module or udev won't have the necessary information
to auto load the correct module when the device is added.

<title>ALSA: ppc: keywest: check if DEQ was already instantiated</title>

<content type='text'>
Due to changes in i2c-powermac, for some Macs the DEQ is instantiated
now in i2c-powermac while some need the instantiation here in the
keywest sound driver. The proper fix is to convert this driver to AOA.
Until then support both ways of instantiation. Before this patch, some
Macs lost sound because the sound driver failed when instantiating the
DEQ for the second time.

As we now have deferred probing, we can use a custom mechanism and
finally get rid of this legacy interface from the i2c core.

<title>powerpc: Move Power Macintosh drivers to generic byteswappers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f5718726714cd6114876c4e3ca9b6992ab81176c</id>
<content type='text'>
ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness.  These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.

However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.

Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.

To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.

The iounmap() function performs also input parameter validation.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The ALSA core takes care that all preallocated memory is freed when the card
(and the PCM) itself is freed. There is no need to do this manually in the
driver.
