Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Add support for the parallel port on the moschip MCS7715 device. The port
registers itself with the parport subsystem as a low-level driver. A separate
entry to the kernel configuration is added beneath that for the mos7720, to
avoid the need to link with the parport subsystem code for users who don't have
or don't want the parallel port. Only compatibility mode is currently supported
(no ECP/EPP). Tested with both moschip devices (7720 and 7715) on UP and SMP
hosts, including regression testing of serial port, concurrent operation of
serial and parallel ports, and various connect / disconnect scenarios.

Bulk endpoint streams were added in the USB 3.0 specification. Streams
allow a device driver to overload a bulk endpoint so that multiple
transfers can be queued at once.
The device then decides which transfer it wants to work on first, and can
queue part of a transfer before it switches to a new stream. All this
switching is invisible to the device driver, which just gets a completion
for the URB. Drivers that use streams must be able to handle URBs
completing in a different order than they were submitted to the endpoint.
This requires adding new API to set up xHCI data structures to support
multiple queues ("stream rings") per endpoint. Drivers will allocate a
number of stream IDs before enqueueing URBs to the bulk endpoints of the
device, and free the stream IDs in their disconnect function. See
Documentation/usb/bulk-streams.txt for details.
The new mass storage device class, USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP), uses
these streams API.

This patch (as1367) deprecates USB's power/level sysfs attribute in

It would be nice to replace power/level with a symlink to

This patch (as1329) converts the USB stack over to the PM core's
runtime PM framework. This involves numerous changes throughout
usbcore, especially to hub.c and driver.c. Perhaps the most notable
change is that CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND now depends on CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME
instead of CONFIG_PM.
Several fields in the usb_device and usb_interface structures are no
longer needed. Some code which used to depend on CONFIG_USB_PM now
depends on CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND (requiring some rearrangement of header
files).
The only visible change in behavior should be that following a system
sleep (resume from RAM or resume from hibernation), autosuspended USB
devices will be resumed just like everything else. They won't remain
suspended. But if they aren't in use then they will naturally
autosuspend again in a few seconds.

This patch (as1326) adds usb_enable_autosuspend() and
usb_disable_autosuspend() routines for use by drivers. If a driver
knows that its device can handle suspends and resumes correctly, it
can enable autosuspend all by itself. This is equivalent to the user
writing "auto" to the device's power/level attribute.
The implementation differs slightly from what it used to be. Now
autosuspend is disabled simply by doing usb_autoresume_device() (to
increment the usage counter) and enabled by doing
usb_autosuspend_device() (to decrement the usage counter).
The set_level() attribute method is updated to use the new routines,
and the USB Power-Management documentation is updated.
The patch adds a usb_enable_autosuspend() call to the hub driver's
probe routine, allowing the special-case code for hubs in quirks.c to
be removed.

This patch (as1316) adds some error checking to usb_submit_urb().
It's conditional on CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, so it won't affect normal users.
The new check makes sure that the actual type of the endpoint
described by urb->pipe agrees with the type encoded in the pipe value.
The USB error code documentation is updated to include the code
returned by the new check, and the usbfs SUBMITURB handler is updated
to use the correct pipe type when legacy user code tries to submit a
bulk transfer to an interrupt endpoint.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
This patch (as1303) revises the USB Power Management infrastructure to
make it compatible with the new driver-model Runtime PM framework:
Drivers are no longer allowed to access intf->pm_usage_cnt
directly; the PM framework manages its own usage counters.
usb_autopm_set_interface() is eliminated, because it directly
sets intf->pm_usage_cnt.
usb_autopm_enable() and usb_autopm_disable() are eliminated,
because they call usb_autopm_set_interface().
usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume() and
usb_autopm_put_interface_no_suspend() are added. They
correspond to pm_runtime_get_noresume() and
pm_runtime_put_noidle() in the PM framework.
The power/level attribute no longer accepts "suspend", only
"on" and "auto". The PM framework doesn't allow devices to be
forced into a suspended mode.
The hub driver contains the only code that violates the new
guidelines. It is updated to use the new interface routines instead.

The UWB radio manager coordinates the use of the radio between the
PALs that may be using it. PALs request use of the radio with
uwb_radio_start() and the radio manager will start beaconing if its
not already doing so. When the last PAL has called uwb_radio_stop()
beaconing will be stopped.
In the future, the radio manager will have a more sophisticated channel
selection algorithm, probably following the Channel Selection Policy
from the WiMedia Alliance when it is finalized. For now, channel 9
(BG1, TFC1) is selected.
The user may override the channel selected by the radio manager and may
force the radio to stop beaconing.
The WUSB Host Controller PAL makes use of this and there are two new
debug PAL commands that can be used for testing.

This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
2.6.26.
This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.
Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
auerswald web site.
So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.

Teach "gadget serial" to use the new abstracted (and bugfixed) TTY glue,
and remove all the orignal tangled-up code. Update the documentation
accordingly. This is a net object code shrink and cleanup; it should
make it a lot easier to see how the TTY glue should accomodate updates
to the TTY layer, be bugfixed, etc.
Notable behavior changes include: it can now support getty even when
there's no USB connection; it fits properly into the mdev/udev world;
and RX handling is better (throttling works, and low latency).
Configurations with scripts setting up the /dev/ttygserial device node
(with "experimental" major number) may want to change that to be a
symlink pointing to the /dev/ttyGS0 file, as a migration aid; else,
just switch entirely over to mdev/udev.
