The I2C stack has long had "id" fields, of rather dubious utility, in
many data structures. This removes mention of one of them from the
documentation about how to write an I2C driver, so that only drivers
that really need to use them (probably old/legacy code) will have any
reason to use this field.

Here is a simple path fixing an incorrect kfree in the m41t00 i2c chip
driver. The current code happens to work by accident, but the freed
pointer isn't the one which was allocated in the first place, which
could cause problems later.

After a careful code analysis on the new max6875 driver
(drivers/i2c/chips/max6875.c), I have come to the conclusion that this
driver may cause EEPROM corruptions if used on random systems.
The EEPROM part of the MAX6875 chip is accessed using rather uncommon
I2C sequences. What is seen by the MAX6875 as reads can be seen by a
standard EEPROM (24C02) as writes. If you check the detection method
used by the driver, you'll find that the first SMBus command it will
send on the bus is i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, 0x80, 0x40). For
the MAX6875 it makes an internal pointer point to a specific offset of
the EEPROM waiting for a subsequent read command, so it's not an actual
data write operation, but for a standard EEPROM, this instead means
writing value 0x40 to offset 0x80. Blame Philips and Intel for the
obscure protocol.
Since the MAX6875 and the standard, common 24C02 EEPROMs share two I2C
addresses (0x50 and 0x52), loading the max6875 driver on a system with
standard EEPROMs at either address will trigger a write on these
EEPROMs, which will lead to their corruption if they happen not to be
write protected. This kind of EEPROMs can be found on memory modules
(SPD), ethernet adapters (MAC address), laptops (proprietary data) and
displays (EDID/DDC). Most of these are hopefully write-protected, but
not all of them.
For this reason, I would recommend that the max6875 driver be
neutralized, in a way that nobody can corrupt his/her EEPROMs by just
loading the driver. This means either deleting the driver completely, or
not listing any default address for it. I'd like this to be done before
2.6.13-rc1 is released.
Additionally, the max6875 driver lacks the 24RF08 corruption preventer
present in the eeprom driver, which means that loading this driver in a
system with such a chip would corrupt it as well.
Here is a proposed quick patch addressing the issue, although I wouldn't
mind a complete removal if it makes everyone feel safer. I think Ben
has plans to replace this driver by a much simplified one anyway.

Nice.
You missed some. This one is on top of your patch:

Also fix a bug in 32-bit syscall tracing. We forgot to update

Now that sys_ipc has been removed from xtensa, asm/ipc.h is no longer
needed for that architecture. Not tested, but obviously correct. This
file is included only from arch code and this patch also removes the only
inclusion.

Lots of this patch is trivial code cleanups (static vars were being
intialized to 0, etc).
There's also some fixes for ISO transmits (max buffer handling).
Aswell, we have a few fixes to disable IRM capabilites correctly. We've
also disabled, by default some generally unused EXPORT symbols for the
sake of cleanliness in the kernel. However, instead of removing them
completely, we felt it necessary to have a config option that allowed
them to be enabled for the many projects outside of the main kernel tree
that use our API for driver development.
The primary reason for this patch is to revert a MODE6->MODE10 RBC
conversion patch from the SCSI maintainers. The new conversions handled
directly in the scsi layer do not seem to work for SBP2. This patch
reverts to our old working code so that users can enjoy using Firewire
disks and dvd drives again.
We are working with the SCSI maintainers to resolve this issue outside
of the main kernel tree. We'll merge the patch once the SCSI layer's
handling of the MODE10 conversion is working for us.
