irda: net/irda build fix: mcs7780

2008-06-09T22:47:38+00:00

-tip testing found the following build error:

  drivers/built-in.o: In function `mcs_receive_irq':
  mcs7780.c:(.text+0x4e429): undefined reference to `crc32_le'
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `mcs_hard_xmit':

with:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Sun_Jun__8_22_56_14_CEST_2008.bad

the reason is a missing enablement of the CRC32 library in the Kconfig.

irda: fix !PNP support for drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.c

2008-05-05T08:06:54+00:00

x86.git testing found this build bug on v2.6.26-rc1:

  ERROR: "pnp_get_resource" [drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko] undefined!
  make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
  make: *** [modules] Error 2

the driver did not anticipate the case of !CONFIG_PNP which is rare but 
still possible. Instead of restricting the driver to PNP-only in the 
Kconfig space, add the (trivial) dummy struct pnp_driver - this is that 
other drivers use in the !PNP case too.

The driver itself can in theory be initialized on !PNP too in certain 
cases, via smsc_ircc_legacy_probe().

Patch only minimally build tested, i dont have this hardware.

irda: fix !PNP support in drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.c

triggered via this config:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Sat_May__3_20_53_13_CEST_2008.bad

while generally most users will have PNP enabled, drivers can support
non-PNP build mode too - and most drivers implement it. That is typically
done by providing a dummy pnp_driver structure that will not probe anything.

The fallback routines in the driver will handle this dumber mode of
operation too.

This patch implements that. I have not tested whether this actually
works on real hardware so take care. It does resolve the build bug.

[ Another solution that is used by a few drivers is to exclude the driver
  in the Kconfig if PNP is disabled, via "depends on PNP", but this would
  limit the availability of the driver needlessly. ]

tty: The big operations rework

2008-04-30T15:29:47+00:00

- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that ->proc_fops and ->data
be setup before gluing PDE to main tree.

net drivers: fix platform driver hotplug/coldplug

2008-04-25T06:08:54+00:00

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:".  Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable network
platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.

NOTE: didn't change drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c "old binding" support.
That looks problematic in the first place (it even uses the ancient "struct
device_driver" binding scheme for platform_bus!) and I suspect it will vanish
soonish when arch/powerpc rules the world.  Also, drivers/net/ne.c would have
needed more thought to sort out.

[ARM] 4971/1: pxaficp_ir: provide startup and shutdown hooks

2008-04-19T10:29:08+00:00

Let platform do some specific initialisation and cleanup
things during pxaficp_ir probing and removing. E.g. this
can be usefull to request/free gpios used by the platform
to control the transceiver.
