Optimize the ds_set_pullup function. For a strong pullup to be sent the
ds2490 has to have both the strong pullup mode enabled, and the specific
write operation has to have the SPU bit enabled. Previously the write
always had the SPU bit enabled and both the duration and model was set
when a strong pullup was requested. Now the strong pullup mode is enabled
at initialization time, the delay is updated only when the value changes,
and the write SPU bit is set only when a strong pullup is required. This
removes two or three bus transactions per strong pullup request.

Reset the device in init as it can be in a bad state. This is necessary
because a block write will wait for data to be placed in the output buffer
and block any later commands which will keep accumulating and the device
will not be idle. Another case is removing the ds2490 module while a bus
search is in progress, somehow a few commands get through, but the input
transfers fail leaving data in the input buffer. This will cause the next
read to fail see the note in ds_recv_data.

- add result register #defines
- rename ds_dump_status to ds_print_msg
- rename ds_recv_status to ds_dump_status
- ds_dump_status prints the requested status and no longer reads the
status, this is because the second status read can return different
data for example the result register
- the result register will be printed, though limited to detecting a
new device, detecting other values such as a short would require
additional reporting methods
- ST_EPOF was moved to ds_wait_status to clear the error condition
sooner

Simplify and fix ds_touch_bit. If a device is attached in the middle of a
bus search the status register will return more than the default 16 bytes.
The additional bytes indicate that it has detected a new device. The way
ds_wait_status is coded, if it doesn't read 16 status bytes it returns an
error value. ds_touch_bit then will detect that error and return an
error. In that case it doesn't read the input buffer and returns
uninitialized data. It doesn't stop there. The next transaction will not
expect the extra byte in the input buffer and the short read will cause an
error and clear out both the old byte and new data in the input buffer.
Just ignore the value of ds_wait_status. It is still required to wait
until ds2490 is again idle and there is data to read when ds_recv_data is
called. This also removes the while loop. None of the other commands
wait and verify that the issued command is in the status register.

Add strong pullup support for ds2490 driver, also drop mdelay(750), which
busy waits, usage in favour of msleep for long delays. Now with msleep
only being called when the strong pullup is active, one wire bus
operations are only taking minimal system overhead.
The new set_pullup will only enable the strong pullup when requested,
which is expected to be the only write operation that will benefit from a
strong pullup.

Like the previous w1_io.c reset coments and msleep patch, I don't have the
hardware to verify the change, but I think it is safe. It also helps to
see a comment like this in the code. "We'll wait a bit longer just to be
sure." If they are going to calculate delaying 324.9us, but actually delay
500us, why not just give up the CPU and sleep? This is designed for a
battery powered ARM system, avoiding busywaiting has to be good for
battery life.

Fixed data reading bug by replacing binary attribute with device one.
Switching the sysfs read from bin_attribute to device_attribute. The data
is far under PAGE_SIZE so the binary interface isn't required. As the
device_attribute interface will make one call to w1_therm_read per file
open and buffer, the result is, the following problems go away.
buffer overflow:
Execute a short read on w1_slave and w1_therm_read_bin would still
return the full string size worth of data clobbering the user space
buffer when it returned. Switching to device_attribute avoids the
buffer overflow problems. With the snprintf formatted output dealing
with short reads without doing a conversion per read would have
been difficult.
bad behavior:
`cat w1_slave` would cause two temperature conversions to take place.
Previously the code assumed W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE would be returned with
each read. It would not return 0 unless the offset was less
than W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE. The result was the first read did a
temperature conversion, filled the buffer and returned, the
offset in the second read would be less than
W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE and also fill the buffer and return, the
third read would finnally have a big enough offset to return 0
and cause cat to stop. Now w1_therm_read will be called at
most once per open.

Add a strong pullup option to the w1 system. This supplies extra power
for parasite powered devices. There is a w1_master_pullup sysfs entry and
enable_pullup module parameter to enable or disable the strong pullup.
The one wire bus requires at a minimum one wire and ground. The common
wire is used for sending and receiving data as well as supplying power to
devices that are parasite powered of which temperature sensors can be one
example. The bus must be idle and left high while a temperature
conversion is in progress, in addition the normal pullup resister on
larger networks or even higher temperatures might not supply enough power.
The pullup resister can't provide too much pullup current, because
devices need to pull the bus down to write a value. This enables the
strong pullup for supported hardware, which can supply more current when
requested. Unsupported hardware will just delay with the bus high.
The hardware USB 2490 one wire bus master has a bit on some commands which
will enable the strong pullup as soon as the command finishes executing.
To use strong pullup, call the new w1_next_pullup function to register the
duration. The next write command will call set_pullup before sending the
data, and reset the duration to zero once it returns.
Switched from simple_strtol to strict_strtol.

w1_control_thread was removed which would wake up every second and process
newly registered family codes and complete some final cleanup for a
removed master. Those routines were moved to the threads that were
previously requesting those operations. A new function
w1_reconnect_slaves takes care of reconnecting existing slave devices when
a new family code is registered or removed. The removal case was missing
and would cause a deadlock waiting for the family code reference count to
decrease, which will now happen. A problem with registering a family code
was fixed. A slave device would be unattached if it wasn't yet claimed,
then attached at the end of the list, two unclaimed slaves would cause an
infinite loop.
The struct w1_bus_master.search now takes a pointer to the struct
w1_master device to avoid searching for it, which would have caused a
lock ordering deadlock with the removal of w1_control_thread.

Patch tpm-correct-tpm-timeouts-to-jiffies-conversion reveals a bug in the
Broadcom BCM0102 TPM chipset used in the Dell Latitude D820 - although
most of the timeouts are returned in usecs as per the spec, one is
apparently returned in msecs, which results in a too-small value leading
to a timeout when the code treats it as usecs. To prevent a regression,
we check for the known too-short value and adjust it to a value that makes
things work.

We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the
disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed.
Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of:
sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800
attempt to access beyond end of device
Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts
behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk:
Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes
1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux
The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be
accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures:
grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
/sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
/sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
/sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
/sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801
/sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801

/sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801
/sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
/sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394
With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk,
and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger:
grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
/sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
/sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
/sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
/sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602
/sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198
/sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
/sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394
These warnings are printed to the kernel log:
sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk
sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk
