d2a7be0be1 mips: Remove BKL from tb0219
cycle_kernel_lock() was added during the big BKL pushdown. It should
ensure the serializiation against driver init code.

tb0219_base is initialized before the character device is
registered, but the spinlock is not initialized.

Initialize the spinlock statically and remove cycle_kernel_lock().

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.

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..

3ae5eaec1d [DRIVER MODEL] Convert platform drivers to use struct platform_driver
This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually
remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for
platform device drivers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
