The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in
int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code :
int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
const char *fmt, ...)
{
va_list args;
char *name;
int ret;
va_start(args, fmt);
name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...
va_end(args);
if (!name)
return -ENOMEM;
return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}
Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
configmation before the patch is applied.
This should fix it.

There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask()
where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask. This
rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what
your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default
DMA_32BIT_MASK). This bug results in any driver that uses this function
*always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong.
Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

We need to initialize the kobject for a sysdev_class as it could have
been recycled (stupid static kobjects...)
We also do the same thing in case sysdev devices are being
re-registered.

Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().
- Don't call cleanup_device_parent() if we didn't call setup_parent().
- dev->kobj.parent may be NULL when cleanup_device_parent() is called,
so we need to handle glue_dir == NULL in cleanup_glue_dir().

Since device_pm_remove(dev) calls dpm_sysfs_remove(dev), it's
incorrect to call the latter after the former in the device_add()
error path.

must be dropped.
- If adding the kobject fails, kobject_put must be called to

This reverts commit 109f0e93b6.
The original patch breaks BIOS updates on all Dell machines. The path to
the firmware file for the dell_rbu driver changes, which breaks all of
the userspace tools which rely on it.
Note that this patch re-introduces a problem with i2c name collision
that was previously fixed by this patch.

When trying to debug a suspend failure I started implementing
PM_TRACE for powerpc. I then noticed that I'm debugging a suspend
failure and so PM_TRACE isn't useful at all, but thought that
nonetheless this could be useful in the future.
Basically, to support PM_TRACE, you add a Kconfig option that
selects PM_TRACE and provides the infrastructure as per the
help text of PM_TRACE.

The driver core, and some other parts of the kernel just want to find a
device based on a name for a specific bus. Give them a simple wrapper
to prevent them from having to always roll their own.
This will be used in the PPC patch later in this series.
