Merge commit 'linus/master' into bkl/core
Merge reason: The staging tree has introduced the easycap driver lately. We need the latest updates to pushdown the bkl in its ioctl helper.

+/*
+ * The 'wakeup_count' attribute, along with the functions defined in
+ * drivers/base/power/wakeup.c, provides a means by which wakeup events can be
+ * handled in a non-racy way.
+ *
+ * If a wakeup event occurs when the system is in a sleep state, it simply is
+ * woken up. In turn, if an event that would wake the system up from a sleep
+ * state occurs when it is undergoing a transition to that sleep state, the
+ * transition should be aborted. Moreover, if such an event occurs when the
+ * system is in the working state, an attempt to start a transition to the
+ * given sleep state should fail during certain period after the detection of
+ * the event. Using the 'state' attribute alone is not sufficient to satisfy
+ * these requirements, because a wakeup event may occur exactly when 'state'
+ * is being written to and may be delivered to user space right before it is
+ * frozen, so the event will remain only partially processed until the system is
+ * woken up by another event. In particular, it won't cause the transition to
+ * a sleep state to be aborted.
+ *
+ * This difficulty may be overcome if user space uses 'wakeup_count' before
+ * writing to 'state'. It first should read from 'wakeup_count' and store
+ * the read value. Then, after carrying out its own preparations for the system
+ * transition to a sleep state, it should write the stored value to
+ * 'wakeup_count'. If that fails, at least one wakeup event has occured since
+ * 'wakeup_count' was read and 'state' should not be written to. Otherwise, it
+ * is allowed to write to 'state', but the transition will be aborted if there
+ * are any wakeup events detected after 'wakeup_count' was written to.
