Subject: Regression introduced by 19b4a8d520a6e0176dd52aaa429261ad4fcaa545
 (p54 driver fails with WARNING) , bisected

Hey,

I'm having a problem with the p54 driver, which seems to be caused by
the commit 19b4a8d520a6e0176dd52aaa429261ad4fcaa545 (found out by
bisecting between v3.1 and v3.2-rc1)

I'm however unable to spot what in that commit causes the problem,
since it is a merge.

I have attached the bisect log and the 3 warnings the kernel spit out.

The warnings are from v3.3, but they are identical to the warnings
that commit causes.

It seems like there are at least one other than me having this
problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804449

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
