First of all sorry if I'm breaking the correct flow of ISDN patches, but
I'm under the impression that things currently get merged directly via
Dave, right?

This series can also be pulled from

As one of the (presumably) few remaining users of an AVM FRITZ!Card DSL
v2.0, I originally just wanted to finally get that broken proprietary
driver into a more reliable state. But I actually ended up fixing also
wide parts of the in-kernel CAPI stack - a job that turned out to be
almost as "interesting" as hacking on that driver.

The major issue of the CAPI stack were incomplete or broken locking
schemes. That caused sporadic crashes, specifically during
setup/shutdown phases of connections, devices, or whatever dynamic
objects. But it also affected some code that was executed during normal
operation. I think I fixed most of those issue, at least all I found via
code inspection, lockdep runs, and testing. This series in production
use on my home gateway for two weeks now (under CONFIG_PREEMPT - the
original stack and driver code only worked acceptably under
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). I also applied some cleanups, and polished the old
capifs a bit.

So the series concludes with removing the experimental tag from the CAPI
middleware, primarily the kernel's CAPI-speaking gate to user space
(eg. for use with Asterisk). There also patch to officially claim the
char major number 191 that CAPI (and likely only CAPI) used in the past
decade.

Note that, although I touched some small parts of it, I did _not_ fix
any locking issue of the capidrv, the interface to the legacy ISDN
stack. It is _surely_ broken in similar ways. But while it may also be
fixable, I rather decided that I'm going to invest a bit time in a
replacement of the last local user, isdnlog.

Looking forward to feedback,
Jan
