Merge branch 'v3.8-samsung-fixes-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung into fixes
From Kukjin Kim: That branch fixes build error for S3C24XX/S3C64xx. And corrects dw-mshc properties on EXYNOS5 DT and fixes IRQ mapping on Cragganmore board. * 'v3.8-samsung-fixes-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung: ARM: S3C64XX: Fix up IRQ mapping for balblair on Cragganmore ARM: dts: correct the dw-mshc timing properties as per binding ARM: S3C64XX: Fix build error with CONFIG_S3C_DEV_FB disabled + Linux 3.8-rc3 Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

+ * Note that we free up the rpc_task _after_ rpc_release_calldata()

+ *
+ * Tejun Heo states:
+ * "Workqueue currently considers two work items to be the same if they're
+ * on the same address and won't execute them concurrently - ie. it
+ * makes a work item which is queued again while being executed wait
+ * for the previous execution to complete.
+ *
+ * If a work function frees the work item, and then waits for an event
+ * which should be performed by another work item and *that* work item
+ * recycles the freed work item, it can create a false dependency loop.
+ * There really is no reliable way to detect this short of verifying
+ * every memory free."
