9b839a7453 b43: Add simple firmware watchdog
This adds a simple firmware watchdog for the opensource firmware.
This will check every 15 seconds, if the firmware zeroed out the watchdog
register. The firmware will do this in its eventloop.

f225763a7d ssb, b43, b43legacy, b44: Rewrite SSB DMA API
This is a rewrite of the DMA API for SSB devices.
This is needed, because the old (non-existing) "API" made too many bad
assumptions on the API of the host-bus (PCI).
This introduces an almost complete SSB-DMA-API that maps to the lowlevel
bus-API based on the bustype.

64c42f6976 [netdrvr] Fix IOMMU overflow checking in s2io.c
s2io has IOMMU overflow checking, but unfortunately it is wrong.

It didn't use the standard macros, which meant that it only worked
on POWER and SPARC because only those define DMA_ERROR_CODE. Convert it to
use the standard macros instead.

I also commented two more bugs in the IOMMU handling. It assumes
that 0 DMA addresses cannot happen, but that's not true in all IOMMU setups.
The information if a buffer has been already mapped needs to be stored
elsewhere.

Didn't fix those because it needs careful checking of the buffer handling
by the maintainers.

looking at the driver I think the bug is real and the fix actually
is trivial.

vp->lock is also taken in hardware IRQ context, so we _have_ to always
use irqsafe locking. As we run in a timer with IRQs disabled,
we can simply use spin_lock.

94d9842403 remove the strip driver
The latest trace about usage of this driver I found was an (unanswered)
request for help by a user trying to get it working reliably five years
ago with kernel 2.4 .

And even if it was still working the use cases of this driver (requiring
both the hardware and someone providing this kind of wireless network)
have become practically nonexisting.

This patch therefore removes the strip driver.

f7983f7301 rfkill: improve documentation for kernel drivers
Improve the documentation of how to use the rfkill class in kernel drivers,
based on the doubts that came up in a thread in linux-wireless.

5005657cbd rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked state
The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the
"kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot
turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something
off) is often forgotten.

Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and
RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may
operate).

Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request),
which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a
hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides.

Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated.  This way,
drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill
correctly one by one.

dc288520a2 rfkill: document rw rfkill switches and clarify input subsystem interactions
Rework the documentation so as to make sure driver writers understand
exactly where the boundaries are for input drivers related to rfkill
switches, buttons and keys, and rfkill class drivers.

Also fix a small error in the documentation: setting the state of a normal
instance of the rfkill class does not affect the state of any other devices
(unless they are tied by firmware/hardware somehow).

4081f00dc4 rfkill: do not allow userspace to override ALL RADIOS OFF
SW_RFKILL_ALL is the "emergency power-off all radios" input event.  It must
be handled, and must always do the same thing as far as the rfkill system
is concerned: all transmitters are to go *immediately* offline.

For safety, do NOT allow userspace to override EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF.  As
long as rfkill-input is loaded, that event will *always* be processed, and
it will *always* force all rfkill switches to disable all wireless
transmitters, regardless of user_claim attribute or anything else.
