388dba3047 Driver-Core: fix devnode callbacks for dabusb and industrialio
The build of the dabusb driver broke:

  drivers/media/video/dabusb.c:758: error: unknown field 'nodename' specified in initializer
  drivers/media/video/dabusb.c:758: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
  make[3]: *** wait: No child processes.  Stop.

Due to this commit:

  e454cea: Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions

Missing the dabusb driver's dabusb_nodename() callback.

Similar issues with the iio/industrialio driver in staging, pointed out
and patched by Jean Delvare.

fff9c81529 MIPS: Octeon: False positive timeout
If we reach the test just below the loop with a `timeout' value of 0,
this does not mean that the timeout caused the loop to end, but rather
the `smi_rd.s.pending', in the last iteration. If timeout caused the
loop to end, then `timeout' is -1, not 0.

Since this can occur only in the last iteration, it is not very likely
to be a problem. By changing the post- to prefix decrement we ensure
that a timeout of 0 does mean it timed out.

7dbefe3d58 Staging: rt3090: remove possible conflict with rt2860
Both drivers (rt2860 and rt3090) register themselves as "rt2860" on
loading the module.

In the very rare case of somebody having two cards in his machine, one
using rt3090 and the other one using the rt2860 driver, loading both
modules would be impossible, the second one will not be loaded as the
kernel will tell you that the driver is already registered.

This was also present with rt2870/rt3070 (with both driver registering
as "rt2870"), but the code has been merged to one driver recently.

The follwoing patch fixes this potential problem until merging of
rt2860/rt3090 code to a single driver.

So it doesn't conflict with a mainline kernel driver
currently under development.

dbda83255c Staging: add cowloop driver
Cowloop is a "copy-on-write" pseudo block driver. It can
be stacked on top of a "real" block driver, and catches
all write operations on their way from the file systems
layer above to the real driver below, effectively shielding
the lower driver from those write accesses. The requests are
then diverted to an ordinary file, located somewhere else
(configurable). Later read requests are checked to see whether
they can be serviced by the "real" block driver below, or
must be pulled in from the diverted location. More information
is on the project's website http://www.ATComputing.nl/cowloop/

fa052e912d Staging: rtl8192e: fix timeouts on firmware download
We need to actually wait a specific ammount of time, not just hope that
a set number of loops will be long enough.

Based on a conversation with Ralink, and a proposed patch for their
older kernel driver.
