From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
So-called \So"-called`\, a.
So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with
doubtful propriety).
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
so-called
adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help"
[syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}]
My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant'
or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of
'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings).
In English, it would be better to use:
what is called
or a better translation of 'so gennant':
so named

Add devicetree support to the msm_serial driver. Clocks are still
queried by direct name from the driver until device tree clock support
is implemented.

The ccdc block in the omap3isp produces events whenever it starts receiving
a new frame. A private HS_VS event was used for this previously. Now, the
generic V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC event is being used for the purpose.
This patch also provides the frame sequence number to user space.

This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.
This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.
Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new) printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));
Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

The Synopsys DesignWare 8250 is an 8250 that has an extra interrupt that
gets raised when writing to the LCR when busy. To handle this we need
special serial_out, serial_in and handle_irq methods. Add a new
platform driver that uses these accessors.

Several drivers use device_create_file() where device.groups should be
used instead. This patch documents that and also removes the comments
about device classes since these should not be used in new code in the
way documented until now in Documentation/driver-model/device.txt.

Introduce the pincfg table to patch_conexant.c for fixing up the extra
pin-configuration for auto-parser. As an example, Lenovo X200 model is
replaced with this new mechanism. (This also fixes the wrong mixer
elements for docking-station I/O in the previous model quirk
automagically.)

Enables page fault based detection of mmap writes to the framebuffer,
which allows standard fbdev apps (like the generic fbdev xorg driver)
to work on DisplayLink devices.
Not all bugs are shaken out of the fb_defio path of udlfb, but it's
tantalizingly close, so this seems a good time to enable by default.
Alternatively, option can be disabled when running with an xorg driver
that can more directly communicate damaged regions of the framebuffer
via IOCTL. This is a simpler, higher perf option, when available.

By default, udlfb allocates a 2nd buffer to shadow what's across
the bus on the USB device. It can operate without this shadow,
but then it cannot tell which pixels have changed, and must send all.
Saves host memory, but worsens the USB 2.0 bus bottleneck.
This option allows users in very low memory situations (e.g.
bifferboard) to optionally turn off this shadow framebuffer.
