It is crucial to assign each req->context value to struct rndis.

The problem happens for multi function gadget (g_multi) when multiple
functions are calling common usb_composite_dev control request.

It might happen that *_setup method from one usb function will
alter some fields of this common request issued by other USB
function.

pm_runtime_get_sync returns a signed integer. In case of errors
it returns a negative value. This patch fixes the error check
by making it signed instead of unsigned thus preventing register
access if get_sync_fails. Also passes the error cause to the
debug message.

During modprobe of gadget driver, pullup is called after
udc_start. In order to make the exit path symmetric when
removing a gadget driver, call pullup before ->udc_stop.

This is needed to avoid issues with PM where udc_stop
disables the module completely (put IP in reset state,
cut functional and interface clocks, and so on), which
prevents us from accessing the IP's address space,
thus creating the possibility of an abort exception
when we try to access IP's address space after clocks
are off.

pm_runtime_enable is being called after omap2430_musb_init. Hence
pm_runtime_get_sync in omap2430_musb_init does not have any effect (does
not enable clocks) resulting in a crash during register access. It is
fixed here.

musb can be suspended at the time some other driver wants to do ulpi
transfers using usb_phy_io_* functions, and that can cause data abort,
as it happened with isp1704_charger:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1226122

Add pm_runtime to ulpi functions to rectify this. This also adds io_dev
to usb_phy so that pm_runtime_* functions can be used.

- For Control Read transfer, the ACK handshake on an IN transaction
may be corrupted, so the device may not receive the ACK for data
stage, the complete irq will not occur at this situation.
Therefore, we need to move prime status stage from complete irq
routine to the place where the data stage has just primed, or the
host will never get ACK for status stage.
The above issue has been described at USB2.0 spec chapter 8.5.3.3.

- After adding prime status stage just after prime the data stage,
there is a potential problem when the status dTD is added before the data stage
has primed by hardware. The reason is the device's dTD descriptor has NO direction bit,
if data stage (IN) prime hasn't finished, the status stage(OUT)
dTD will be added at data stage dTD's Next dTD Pointer, so when the data stage
transfer has finished, the status dTD will be primed as IN by hardware,
then the host will never receive ACK from the device side for status stage.

- Delete below code at fsl_ep_queue:
       /* Update ep0 state */
       if ((ep_index(ep) == 0))
               udc->ep0_state = DATA_STATE_XMIT;
the udc->ep0_state will be updated again after udc->driver->setup
finishes.

When runtime_pm was originally added, it was done in rather confusing
way: omap2430_musb_init() (called from musb_init_controller) would do
runtime_pm_get_sync() and musb_init_controller() itself would do
runtime_pm_put to balance it out. This is not only confusing but also
wrong if non-omap2430 glue layer is used.

This confusion resulted in commit 772aed45 "usb: musb: fix
pm_runtime mismatch", that removed runtime_pm_put() from
musb_init_controller as that looked unbalanced, and also happened to
fix unrelated isp1704_charger crash. However this broke runtime PM
functionality (musb is now always powered, even without gadget active).

Avoid these confusing runtime pm dependences by making
musb_init_controller() and omap2430_musb_init() do their own runtime
get/put pairs; also cover error paths. Remove unneeded runtime_pm_put
in omap2430_remove too. isp1704_charger crash that motivated
772aed45 will be fixed by following patch.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.

manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it

    But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
    TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.

    Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
    particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
    only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
    when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.

The original XenoLinux code has always had things this way, and for
compatibility reasons (in particular with a subsequent pciback
adjustment) upstream Linux should behave the same way (allowing for two
distinct error indications to be returned by the backend).

Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a
positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount
requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an
operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation
results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according
to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux
behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here,
passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.

There is an extra and unnecessary call to smp_processor_id()
in cpu_bringup(). Remove it.
