Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ISDN patches for 2.6.36

Karsten, David,

following are two patches to the ISDN subsystem I'd like to see
included in kernel release 2.6.36.

Thanks,
Tilman

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation/isdn: CAPI controller interface amendment

Mention that the CAPI controller methods load_firmware() and
reset_ctr() are asynchronous, and should signal completion.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] isdn: avoid calling tty_ldisc_flush() in atomic context

Remove the call to tty_ldisc_flush() from the RESULT_NO_CARRIER
branch of isdn_tty_modem_result(), as already proposed in commit
00409bb045887ec5e7b9e351bc080c38ab6bfd33.
This avoids a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG
when the hardware driver calls the statcallb() callback with
command==ISDN_STAT_DHUP in atomic context, which in turn calls
isdn_tty_modem_result(RESULT_NO_CARRIER, ~), and from there,
tty_ldisc_flush() which may sleep.

Applied to net-next-2.6

Please stop using "Impact: " tags, I just edit them out when
I add your changes.
