lib: vsprintf: optimised put_dec_trunc() and put_dec_full()
On Friday 06 August 2010 00:38, Michal Nazarewicz wrote: The put_dec_trunc() and put_dec_full() functions were based on a code optimised for processors with 8-bit ALU but even then they failed to satisfy the same constraints "Failed"? Interesting wording. Yes, the code won't map easily onto 8-bit ALU, for ... 9 Aug 2010 23:24

linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (cifs tree related)
The fix for the missing err.h include is merged. Not sure why I did not run into that on my Ubuntu test builds or Dave on his builds. Have not heard any feedback about the init.h change that Ben suggested yet. On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 10:51 PM, Stephen Rothwell <sfr(a)canb.auug.org.au> wrote: Hi Steve, Af... 5 Aug 2010 23:34

[PATCH v3 1/3] mfd: MAX8998: Use struct i2c_client to argument on i2c operation functions
The MAX8998 chip have regulator and rtc features. The i2c slave address of regulator and rtc is different, so needs each i2c client on i2c operation functions. Also, this patch exports i2c operation functions instead of callback to make easy to read. Signed-off-by: Joonyoung Shim <jy0922.shim(a)samsung.com> Sig... 5 Aug 2010 23:34

[PATCH v3 3/3] rtc: Add MAX8998 rtc driver

Initcall ordering problem (TTY vs modprobe vs MD5) and cryptomgr problem
