Any time a struct (especially one not defined by this driver) is
allocated, we MUST zero its underlying storage. This makes our usage
of the struct predictable and robust against future changes where
fields might be added that we don't know about. Failing to do this
with tuner_setup left the config field uninitialized which then caused
trouble with the tuner type used for HVR-1950 devices.

soc-camera re-uses struct devices multiple times in calls to device_register(),
therefore it has to reset the embedded struct kobject to avoid the "tried to
init an initialized object" error, which then also erases its name. Now with
the transition to kobject's name for device names, we have to re-initialise the
name before each call to device_register().

The last buffer queued will often overrun, as the DMA chain
is finished, and the time the dma irq handler is activated,
the QCI fifos are filled by the sensor.
The fix is to ignore the overrun condition on the last
queued buffer, and restart the capture only on intermediate
buffers of the chain.
Moreover, a fix was added to the very unlikely condition
where in YUV422P mode, one channel overruns while another
completes at the very same time. The capture is restarted
after the overrun as before, but the other channel
completion is now ignored.

The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in
multiple queued buffers context :
- poll/select problem
The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg
tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout".
- multiple buffers DMA starting
When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were
always started right away. This is not optimal, as a
special case appears when the first EOF was not yet
reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started.
- Maintainability
DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be
easily maintainable by anyone.
- DMA hot chaining
DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer
is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case
exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the
chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the
missed link buffer.
This patch attemps to address these issues / improvements.

All planes were PAGE aligned (ie. 4096 bytes aligned). This
is not consistent with YUV422 format, which requires Y, U
and V planes glued together. The new implementation forces
the alignement on 8 bytes (DMA requirement), which is almost
always the case (granted by width x height being a multiple
of 8).
The test cases include tests in both YUV422 and RGB565 :
- a picture of size 111 x 111 (cross RAM pages example)
- a picture of size 1023 x 4 in (under 1 RAM page)
- a picture of size 1024 x 4 in (exactly 1 RAM page)
- a picture of size 1025 x 4 in (over 1 RAM page)

Due to DMA constraints, the DMA chain always transfers bytes
from the QCI fifos to memory in 8 bytes units. In planar
formats, that could mean 0 padding between Y and U plane
(and between U and V plane), which is against YUV422P
standard.
Therefore, a frame size is required to be a multiple of 16
(so U plane size is a multiple of 8). It is enforced in
try_fmt() and set_fmt() primitives, be aligning height then
width on 4 multiples as need be, to reach a 16 multiple.

currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.
Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same.
EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.
In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.
For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.
Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch
doesn't affect that usage.
