Subject[patch 51/86] lockdep, bug: Exclude TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND from disabling lockdep
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

commit df754e6af2f237a6c020c0daff55a1a609338e31 upstream.

It's unlikely that TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND causes false
lockdep messages, so do not disable lockdep in that case.
We still want to keep lockdep disabled in the
TAINT_OOT_MODULE case:

- bin-only modules can cause various instabilities in
their and in unrelated kernel code

- they are impossible to debug for kernel developers

- they also typically do not have the copyright license
permission to link to the GPL-ed lockdep code.
