a7e63bb5f0 drivers: Remove BKL from cs5535_gpio
The big BKL pushdown added cycle_kernel_lock(). There is nothing to
wait for in this driver. Remove it.

f2b9857eee Add a bunch of cycle_kernel_lock() calls
All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may
still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver
initialization.  So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be
on the safe side.

d21c95c569 Add "no BKL needed" comments to several drivers
This documents the fact that somebody looked at the relevant open()
functions and concluded that, due to their trivial nature, no locking was
needed.

4670df831c gpio_cs5535: disable AUX on output
The AMD CS5535/CS5536 GPIO has two alternate output modes: AUX-1 and AUX-2.
When either AUX is enabled, the cs5535_gpio driver cannot control the
output.

Some BIOS code for the Geode processor enables AUX-1 for GPIO-1, which
configures it as the PC BEEP output.

This patch will disable AUX-1 and AUX-2 when the user enables output.

62322d2554 [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

0324680064 [PATCH] cs5535_gpio.c: call cdev_del() during module_exit to unmap kobject references and other cleanups
During module unloading, cdev_del() must be called to unmap cdev related
kobject references and other cleanups(such as inode->i_cdev being set to
NULL) which prevents the OOPS upon subsequent loading, usage and unloading
of modules(as seen in the mail thread
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114533640609018&w=2).

Also, remove unneeded test of gpio_base.

e329113ca4 [PATCH] i386: GPIO driver for AMD CS5535/CS5536
A simple driver for the CS5535 and CS5536 that allows a user-space program
to manipulate GPIO pins.  The CS5535/CS5536 chips are Geode processor
companion devices.
