1394: fix for recently added firewire patch that breaks things on ppc

2006-08-23T21:13:32Z

Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on !PPC_PMAC. However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled. This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.

MD: Fix a potential NULL dereference in md/raid1

2006-08-23T21:13:32Z

At the point where this 'atomic_add' is, rdev could be NULL, as seen by the fact that we test for this in the very next statement. Further is it is really the wrong place of the add. We could add to the count of corrected errors once the are sure it was corrected, not before trying to correct it.

dm: BUG/OOPS fix

2006-08-23T21:13:32Z

Fix BUG I tripped on while testing failover and multipathing. BUG shows up on error path in multipath_ctr() when parse_priority_group() fails after returning at least once without error. The fix is to initialize m->ti early - just after alloc()ing it.

PCI: fix ICH6 quirks

2006-08-23T21:13:31Z

- add the ICH6(R) LPC to the ICH6 ACPI quirks. currently only the ICH6-M is handled. [ PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_1 is the ICH6-M LPC, ICH6_0 is the ICH6(R) ] - remove the wrong quirk calling asus_hides_smbus_lpc() for ICH6. the register modified in asus_hides_smbus_lpc() has a different meaning in ICH6.
