[GIT PULL] ACPI and power management fixes for v3.9-rc1

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the git repository at

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git pm+acpi-fixes-3.9-rc1

to receive ACPI and power management fixes for v3.9-rc1 with top-most commit
4383822020c54c21eb2eb939a3233b44a51e8ca0

  Merge branch 'acpi-pm' into fixes

on top of commit a0b1c42951dd06ec83cc1bc2c9788131d9fefcd8

  Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

The changes below fix problems introduced by the new ACPI and PM
commits merged earlier and one older build issue.

Included are:

- Fixes for blackfin and microblaze build problems introduced by the
  removal of global pm_idle.  From Lars-Peter Clausen.

- OPP core build fix from Shawn Guo.

- Error condition check fix for the new imx6q-cpufreq driver from
  Wei Yongjun.

- Fix for an AER driver crash related to the lack of APEI
  initialization for acpi=off.  From yours truly.

- Fix for the USB breakage on Thinkpad T430 related to ACPI power
  resources and PCI wakeup reported by Dave and Fabio (you know
  about this one).

Thanks!

Hi Linus,

I wonder if this went unnoticed or there's anything wrong with it or it just
needs to wait for some more time?

Just going through things slowly. It's merged in my tree now.

Oh, and a request: _please_ don't use unknown TLA's like OPP. This has
become a huge problem, to the point that we have a
"Documentation/power/opp.txt" file THAT NEVER CLEARLY STATES WHAT THE
F*CK OPP ACTUALLY MEANS! What nice "documentation".

Ok, I can look up things like this and find that it is "Operating
Performance Points". At least in this context. But no, it's not some
kind of generic standard, and no, it's not something people should be
expected to know in general. Please stop doing "explanations" of
things that use TLA's like this. And people shouldn't have to even
wonder.

It says that in "Introduction", but it would be clearer if the title of the
doc was something like "Operating Performance Points (OPP) Library".  Nishanth?

Yes, this will definitely help. I didn't even find it in the
introduction (Rafael is correct that it is indeed there), because it's
hard to see when you don't know what to scan for and it's in a big
block of text.

I am also happy to note that it is in the Kconfig help and single-line
description. Which wasn't true for the new SATA_ZPODD ("Zero Power
ODD" - what the heck is ODD?) which was another new entry I wondered
about.

It turns out that ODD is an odd TLA for "Optical Disk Drive". I'm sure
it makes perfect sense if you are a SATA person, but it sure doesn't
for any normal human being, even otherwise highly technical ones.

Aaron, Tejun, Jeff, can I ask you to also not use specialized TLA's
without explaining them? Especially in help text and "documentation",
it's very unhelpful to have TLA's that aren't common.

We don't have to explain *all* TLA's, since there's a lot that really
are rather widespread. But there's a big difference between something
like CPU or TLB that have been in generic literature for decades, wrt
OPP and ODD that are specialized terms used inside a very particular
group and haven't been around for very long either.

Aye aye, captain.

One interesting bit, for me (and possibly Aaron too), ODD is much more
closer to an everyday term.  For some reason, at least in Korea, ODD
is a popular term.  For exmple, the likes of newegg would use it along
with CPU, SSD or VGA to label product categories, so that probably is
why ODD never registered as something which needed explanation, and
that we all are pretty familiar with ATA jargons.  Anyways, yeah, no
ODDs without expansion nearby.

Thanks.

Just checked newegg in the US. If you look for "ODD" here, you get a
very odd response.

For example,

  Fairly Odd Parents By Nickelodeon Bubble Bath 7 Oz
  Model #: 692237016543

shows up fairly high. Not an actual optican disk drive in sight, but
there are DVD's and "ODD bay"s there.

Searching for "optical disk drive" works. But then I never see
anything called "ODD" anywhere. I did find it in the "Technical
Specifications" for one of the drives, though.

Anyway, in the US it is definitely not a common term for normal people.

Googling "odd" doesn't give anything on optical drives on the first
page.  On the other hand, >70% is about optical drives on naver.com.
The discrepancy is funny given that most computer terms in Korea come
from US.  Maybe it's because the character combination "odd" doesn't
have any other meaning.  Even then, I'm surprised there's no optical
drive result at all in the first page of google search.  Definitely
doesn't seem like a common term in US.

There is just a lot more "odd" goings-on in the US.  Korea is simply 
less odd than the US :)

Will send a patch to fix...

[PATCH] [libata] Avoid specialized TLA's in ZPODD's Kconfig

[Aaron Lu]

ODD is not a common TLA for non-ATA people so they will get confused
by its meaning when they are configuring the kernel. This patch fixed
this problem by using ODD only after stating what it is.
