checkpatch could not distinguish between a variable in a struct named
jiffies and the normal jiffies.

	foo->jiffies

would emit a "Comparing jiffies" arning.

Update the $Compare variable to do a negative look-behind for "-" when
finding a ">" so that a pointer dereference like -> isn't a comparison.

Include appropriate header file include/linux/decompress/inflate.h in
lib/decompress_inflate.c because it has prototype declaration of
function defined in lib/decompress_inflate.c.

Also, fix the guard around the header file
include/linux/decompress/inflate.h to use a more unique guard symbol.
This avoids conflict with the INFLATE_H defined by
zlib_inflate/inflate.h.

This eliminates the following warning in lib/decompress_inflate.c:

so change it into such as it's done everywhere else.  Also, use the

Having a discussion about sparse warnings in the kernel, and that we
should clean them up, I decided to pick a random file to do so.  This
happened to be devres.c which gives the following warnings:

    CHECK   lib/devres.c
  lib/devres.c:83:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression
  lib/devres.c:117:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
  lib/devres.c:117:31:    expected void [noderef] <asn:2>*
  lib/devres.c:117:31:    got void *
  lib/devres.c:125:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
  lib/devres.c:125:31:    expected void [noderef] <asn:2>*

  lib/devres.c:136:26:    got void *
  lib/devres.c:226:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression

Mostly it's just the use of typecasting to void * without adding
__force, or returning ERR_PTR(-ESOMEERR) without typecasting to a
__iomem type.

I added a helper macro IOMEM_ERR_PTR() that does the typecast to make
the code a little nicer than adding ugly typecasts to the code.

We don't have to update a backlight status every time a blanking or
unblanking event comes because the backlight status may have already
been what we want.  Another thought is that one backlight device may be
shared by multiple framebuffers.  We don't hope blanking one of the
framebuffers may turn the backlight off for all the other framebuffers,
since they are likely being active to display something.

This patch makes the backlight status be updated only when the relevant
backlight device's use count changes from zero to one or from one to
zero.

We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight
device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may
have already been what we want.  Another thought is that one backlight
device may be shared by multiple framebuffers.  The backlight driver
should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the
associated framebuffers.

This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage
to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two
properties should be updated or not.  To be more specific, only one
unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the
backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a
certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because
the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a
blanked framebuffer.

         ----                    ----

                                 lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
  lock(console_lock);
    *** DEADLOCK ***

There are three locks involved in two sequence:
a) pm suspend:
	console_lock (@suspend_console())
	cpu_add_remove_lock (@disable_nonboot_cpus())
	cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
b) Plug-out CPUx:
	cpu_add_remove_lock (@(cpu_down())
	cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
	console_lock (@console_cpu_notify()) => Lockdeps prints warning log.

There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can
protect this.

Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep
about it.  That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking
when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo
0 > cpux/online)

Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in
console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().

It seems that we have newer used the last byte in the ring buffer.  In
fact, we have newer used the last 4 bytes because of padding.

First problem is in the check for free space.  The exact number of free
bytes is enough to store the length of data.

Second problem is in the check where the ring buffer is rotated.  The
left side counts the first unused index.  It is unused, so it might be
the same as the size of the buffer.

Note that the first problem has to be fixed together with the second
one.  Otherwise, the buffer is rotated even when there is enough space
on the end of the buffer.  Then the beginning of the buffer is rewritten
and valid entries get corrupted.
