3.1-rc5 is the worst

Hello,

Maybe the subject sounds rude so apologize since I just want to report
that 3.1-rc5 gives me bad impression.

Of course it's all about my hw support which seems to get some
regressions (I attached lspci).

1/ I'm getting this now at each boot:

[ 38.349671] hda_codec: too deep connection for 0x18
[ 38.349748] hda_codec: too deep connection for 0x18
[ 38.349842] hda_codec: too deep connection for 0x18
[ 38.349843] hda_codec: too deep connection for 0x18
[ 38.349844] hda_codec: too deep connection for 0x18
[ 38.349939] hda_codec: too deep connection for 0x18
<repeated 252 times>

I've no idea what it does mean or it's simply a warning I can ignore
(and it that case it would be nice to limit it at least) or if it's
worse getting a fix before 3.1 is out would be great.

2/ wireless card: It's BCM4313 WLAN card. Previously it was drived by
brcmsmac and all goes fine. But now b43/bcma (CONFIG_BCMA=y) combo
decided to replace brcmsmac although it doesn't support my card: my
phy dev is not supported for now its support is known as broken
(CONFIG_B43_PHY_LCN depends on B43 && BROKEN).

3/ video: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics
Controller (rev 18) drived by 'i915': sometime after resuming or after
leaving the black screensaver, the screen seems to be frozen and I
need to switch to tty1 and switch back to the graphic screen in order
to make the screen refreshed again.

Voila :)
