Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be
switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported.
Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently
selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and
in11_input.

Driver for the TI TMP102.
The TI TMP102 is similar to the LM75. It differs from the LM75 by
having a 16-bit conf register and the temp registers have a minimum
resolution of 12 bits; the extended conf register can select 13-bit
resolution (which this driver does) and also change the update rate
(which this driver currently doesn't use).

This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too. There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.
The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack. It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.

and when it should be reclaimed
The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be
compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these
is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not
be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help
optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch
adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if
the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

Add a misc device, "suspend_blocker", that allows user-space processes
to block automatic suspend.
Opening this device creates a suspend blocker that can be used by the
opener to prevent automatic suspend from occurring. There are ioctls
provided for blocking and unblocking suspend and for giving the
suspend blocker a meaningful name. Closing the device special file
causes the suspend blocker to be destroyed.
For example, when select or poll indicates that input event are
available, this interface can be used by user space to block suspend
before it reads those events. This allows the input driver to release
its suspend blocker as soon as the event queue is empty. If user space
could not use a suspend blocker here the input driver would need to
delay the release of its suspend blocker until it knows (or assumes)
that user space has finished processing the events.
By careful use of suspend blockers in drivers and user space system
code, one can arrange for the system to stay awake for extremely short
periods of time in reaction to events, rapidly returning to a fully
suspended state.

Power management features present in the current mainline kernel are
insufficient to get maximum possible energy savings on some platforms,
such as Android. The problem is that to save maximum amount of energy
all system hardware components need to be in the lowest-power states
available for as long as reasonably possible, but at the same time the
system must always respond to certain events, regardless of the
current state of the hardware.
The first goal can be achieved either by using device runtime PM and
cpuidle to put all hardware into low-power states, transparently from
the user space point of view, or by suspending the whole system.
However, system suspend, in its current form, does not guarantee that
the events of interest will always be responded to, since wakeup
events (events that wake the CPU from idle and the system from
suspend) that occur right after initiating suspend will not be
processed until another possibly unrelated event wakes the system up
again.
On hardware where idle can enter the same power state as suspend, idle
combined with runtime PM can be used, but periodic wakeups increase
the average power consumption. Suspending the system also reduces the
harm caused by apps that never go idle. There also are systems where
some devices cannot be put into low-power states without suspending
the entire system (or the low-power states available to them without
suspending the entire system are substantially shallower than the
low-power states they are put into when the entire system is
suspended), so the system has to be suspended as a whole to achieve
the maximum energy savings.
To allow Android and similar platforms to save more energy than they
currently can save using the mainline kernel, introduce a mechanism by
which the system is automatically suspended (i.e. put into a
system-wide sleep state) whenever it's not doing work that's
immediately useful to the user, called opportunistic suspend.
For this purpose introduce the suspend blockers framework allowing the
kernel's power management subsystem to decide when it is desirable to
suspend the system (i.e. when the system is not doing anything the
user really cares about at the moment and therefore it may be
suspended). Add an API that that drivers can use to block
opportunistic suspend. This is needed to avoid losing wakeup events
that occur right after suspend is initiated.
Add /sys/power/policy that selects the behavior of /sys/power/state.
After setting the policy to opportunistic, writes to /sys/power/state
become non-blocking requests that specify which suspend state to enter
when no suspend blockers are active. A special state, "on", stops the
process by activating the "main" suspend blocker.
