sgi-xp: eliminate false detection of no heartbeat
After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of
time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by
a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running
on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC
that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted
XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's
heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds).
The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating
from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the
XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the
other partitions.

gpio: fix probe() error return in gpio driver probes
A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with
missing setup parameters such as the platform data. However, returning
-ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it
assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative.
To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change
to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the
driver data was not valid.
Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an
better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the

hwmon: (abituguru3) Match partial DMI board name strings
The switch-over to using DMI board strings to identify abituguru3 compatible

modified the board string between BIOS revisions.
We have found that the vendor chipset identification string (provided in

The new comparison code checks only a part of the supplied DMI board string,

detected without the force=1 module parameter, and also speculatively
fixes other similiar issues.

Correct, you can look to it as two separate bugs:
