  To: Linus Torvalds, Andrew Morton; +Cc: linux-kernel, linux-usb-devel

Here are some more USB bugfixes and device ids 2.6.18.  They should all
fix the reported problems in your current tree (if not, please let me
know.)

All of these changes have been in the -mm tree for a while.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6.git/

The full patches will be sent to the linux-usb-devel mailing list, if
anyone wants to see them.

thanks,

greg k-h

That's the "some gccs dont like static function decls in that scope" thing.

I fixed it (unpleasantly) like this:

That #ifdef shouldn't be even needed.

I'll add a patch to the git tree to fix this up, give me a few
minutes...

Ok, Linus, if you pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6.git

You should have one more patch that fixes this problem.

Sorry, I think I need to upgrade to gcc4 here to catch these things...

Better to just always include the forward decl... much cleaner!

... reviewing and testing those new OHCI changes is still on my
list; all that suspend stuff needs care, things that work on PCs don't
necessarily work on embedded hardware (where OHCI is common, and
PM tends to be more critical).

We'll get "warning: 'ohci_restart' declared 'static' but never defined"
without it.

See other email.

erm, we prefer to do that before code hits mainline.

I guess we'll find out.

The #ifdef is unneeded here.

Exactly why I mentioned the issue.  I trust Alan basically got the
ohci parts of that new root hub suspend code right, but I probably
have a lot more variety in OHCI silicon here ... but virtually no
time to assemble the relevant platform patches and test them with
new patches from MM/etc, given other ongoing work.

On the plus side, I think maybe OMAP1 devel boards are now mostly
buildable straight from kernel GIT (with i2c-omap merged), which is
a BIG improvement for at least one part of the testing equation.

We are victims of bad timing.  This all started with the USB autosuspend 
patches, submitted around a month ago.  Greg didn't merge all of them 
because he experienced some problems (which we still haven't sorted out!), 
but the rest went into -mm.  But then Greg was away for a while and too 
busy to help with debugging.

I hadn't done any testing of OHCI controllers with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND
turned off, and when problems turned up a couple of weeks ago it became
apparent that some of the existing code in ohci-hcd had to change or be
removed, as it wasn't compatible with the new autosuspend mechanism.  
This was done just in the past week, and David hasn't had much of a chance
to go through and review it yet.

As a result, when the autosuspend patches went upstream for 2.6.19-rc1 the
extra ohci-hcd changes had to go with them, even though they have received
very little testing and review.  Perhaps things moved too quickly, but
this wasn't obvious at the time, and anyway it's done now.

Exactly.  The new code works on the one system I have with OHCI
controllers, and a few other people have used it successfully.  However
this is hardly a wide sampling, and we know there are controllers out
there with bizarre quirks which might not like the changes.

The problems with last-minute compile errors are symptoms that the new 
code has shaken down yet -- compounded by the way different versions of 
GCC don't all report the same classes of errors.

Hopefully in plenty of time to get straightened out before too many 
2.6.19-rc releases have gone by.
