Input: tsc2007 - read "ti,poll-period" as u32grafted
The "ti,poll-period" property is documented as a normal uint32 cell.
The driver used a u64 helper, which makes the helper type disagree with
the schema even though the stored value is still small.
Read "ti,poll-period" with the u32 helper matching the documented DT
cell size.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Block and inode Bitmaps +----------------------- + +The data block bitmap tracks the usage of data blocks within the block +group. + +The inode bitmap records which entries in the inode table are in use. + +As with most bitmaps, one bit represents the usage status of one data +block or inode table entry. This implies a block group size of 8 * +number_of_bytes_in_a_logical_block. + +NOTE: If ``BLOCK_UNINIT`` is set for a given block group, various parts +of the kernel and e2fsprogs code pretends that the block bitmap contains +zeros (i.e. all blocks in the group are free). However, it is not +necessarily the case that no blocks are in use -- if ``meta_bg`` is set, +the bitmaps and group descriptor live inside the group. Unfortunately, +ext2fs_test_block_bitmap2() will return '0' for those locations, +which produces confusing debugfs output. |
