Building hbm.o for v3.13.2 triggers a GCC warning:
    drivers/misc/mei/hbm.c: In function 'mei_hbm_dispatch':
    drivers/misc/mei/hbm.c:596:3: warning: 'return' with a value, in function returning void [enabled by default]
       return 0;
       ^

GCC is correct, obviously. So let's return void instead of zero here.

commit df5e4e8b576108f88f79e5b4c984d51d460d2360 upstream.

The interrupt handler (mic_interrupt), called in the MSI/INTx mode,
writes to the interrupt sources register to acknowledge the
interrupt and then calls the corresponding callback handlers to handle
the same. These callback handlers acknowledge the interrupts again
leading to missed interrupts. This patch fixes the issue by removing
the interrupt acknowlegment code from the callback handlers.

When reset is caused by hbm protocol mismatch or timeout

will never sync

Bug report from: wenxiong@linux.vnet.ibm.com

The issue is happened in dual controller configuration. We got the
sysfs warnings when rmmod the ipr module.

enclosure_unregister() in drivers/msic/enclosure.c, call device_unregister()
for each componment deivce, device_unregister() -&gt;device_del()-&gt;kobject_del()
-&gt;sysfs_remove_dir(). In sysfs_remove_dir(), set kobj-&gt;sd = NULL.

For each componment device,
enclosure_component_release()-&gt;enclosure_remove_links()-&gt;sysfs_remove_link()
in which checking kobj-&gt;sd again, it has been set as NULL when doing
device_unregister. So we saw all these sysfs WARNING.

MIC card and host drivers are able to use virtio over the PCIe bus by
treating ioremap return values for the prefetchable BARs as pointers,
effectively treating I/O memory the same as system memory. However this
results in sparse warnings. Knowing that these warnings do not point to
a functional issue, this patch suppresses these warnings.

Endianness issues are now consistent as per the documentation in
host/mic_virtio.h. Sparse warnings related to endianness are also fixed.
Note that the MIC driver implementation assumes that the host can be
both BE or LE whereas the card is always LE.

Avoid declaring ALIGN() and __aligned() in
include/uapi/linux/mic_common.h since they pollute user space
namespace. Also, mic_aligned_size() can be simply replaced simply by
sizeof() since all structures where mic_aligned_size() is used are
declared using __attribute__ ((aligned(8)));

Subject: Namespace pollution in mic_common.h

This puts two macros, ALIGN() and __aligned(), into arbitrary user space
namespace.  This really isn't safe or acceptable, especially since those
symbols are highly generic.
...
When these structures are forced-aligned, they will in fact have padding
automatically added by the compiler to an 8-byte boundary anyway, so
mic_aligned_size() does nothing.
