We have reorganized the error handling into a simpler and more canonical

Additionally we removed extra empty lines, switched to devm_kzalloc(), and
substitute 'minor' by 'ret' in the igorplugusb_remote_probe() function.

check_firmware() makes sure firmware is in a device.
It returns zero on success and error code otherwise.
Also it sets down_firmware flag to 1 if downloading occurs.
The only caller poseidon_probe() checks down_firmware flag and
returns 0 without any initialization if it is set.
That looks very strange, so the patch removes down_firmware argument
of check_firmware() and returns error code if check_firmware() fails
in poseidon_probe().

On mem2mem decoders with a hardware bitstream ringbuffer, to drain the
buffer at the end of the stream, remaining frames might need to be decoded
from the bitstream buffer without additional input buffers being provided.
To achieve this, allow a queue to be marked as buffered by the driver, and
allow scheduling of device_runs when buffered ready queues are empty.
This also allows a driver to copy input buffers into their bitstream
ringbuffer and immediately mark them as done to be dequeued.
The motivation for this patch is hardware assisted h.264 reordering support
in the coda driver. For high profile streams, the coda can hold back
out-of-order frames, causing a few mem2mem device runs in the beginning, that
don't produce any decompressed buffer at the v4l2 capture side. At the same
time, the last few frames can be decoded from the bitstream with mem2mem device
runs that don't need a new input buffer at the v4l2 output side. The decoder
command ioctl can be used to put the decoder into the ringbuffer draining
end-of-stream mode.

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly
in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
8 compatibility.
[ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
problems to show up elsewhere ]
Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does
that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
likes that part).
The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
compatible with Windows 8.
The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
Thinkpads).
The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
GUI.
Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
backlight control problems in the future.

"Fix regression caused by commit af51a2ac36 which added ->tmpfile()
support (along with a similar fix for ext3)"

Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread
across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in through
this tree.
I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers who
originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR still
will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver pretty much
obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now prevents people from
sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that will never go anywhere.
It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that happened
in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat. :)
