remove the v850 port

2008-07-24T17:47:24+00:00

Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists
since at least kernel 2.6.19.

There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable
state.

This patch therefore removes the v850 port.

If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be
available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to
reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

pnp: add acpi:* modalias entries

2008-07-22T04:54:53+00:00

Along with the non-modalias conformant "pnp:*" aliases, we add "acpi:*"
entries to PNP drivers, to allow module autoloading by ACPI PNP device
entries, which export proper modalias information, without any specific
userspace modprobe mangling.

[S390] cio: Introduce modalias for css bus.

2008-07-14T08:02:05+00:00

Add modalias and subchannel type attributes for all subchannels.
I/O subchannel specific attributes are now created in
io_subchannel_probe(). modalias and subchannel type are also
added to the uevent for the css bus. Also make the css modalias
known.

modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard

2008-05-04T07:24:47+00:00

Not all device types need a wildcard at the end of their module
aliases. In particular, for i2c module aliases, the trailing wildcard
is not only unneeded, it could also cause the wrong driver to be
loaded.

As I2C devices have no IDs, i2c module aliases are simple, arbitrary
device names. For example:

$ /sbin/modinfo lm90
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.25-git18/kernel/drivers/hwmon/lm90.ko
author:         Jean Delvare 
description:    LM90/ADM1032 driver
license:        GPL
vermagic:       2.6.25-git18 mod_unload
depends:        hwmon
alias:          i2c:lm90*
alias:          i2c:adm1032*
alias:          i2c:lm99*
alias:          i2c:lm86*
alias:          i2c:max6657*
alias:          i2c:adt7461*
alias:          i2c:max6680*
$

This would cause trouble if one I2C chip name matches the beginning of
another I2C chip name and both chips are supported by different
drivers. For example, an i2c device named lm9042 would cause the lm90
driver to be loaded, while it doesn't support that device. This case
has yet to be seen in practice, but still, I'd like to fix it now. The
cleanest fix is to remove the trailing wildcard from i2c module aliases.

Here's a patch doing this.

Not all device type aliases need a trailing wildcard, in particular
the i2c aliases don't. Don't add a wildcard by default in do_table(),
instead let each device type handler add it if needed.

I have tested types acpi, dmi, eisa, i2c, ide, ieee1394, input, pci,
pcmcia, platform, pnp, scsi, serio, ssb and usb. Other types (ccw, of,
vio, parisc, sdio and virtio) are untested.

i2c: Add support for device alias names

2008-04-29T21:11:39+00:00

Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
supported.

PNP: add all PNP card device id's as individual aliases

2008-04-20T02:10:22+00:00

The current PNP combined card + devices module aliase can
never ever match anything, because these values are not available
all at the same time to request a module.

Instead of adding the combined alias, we add the device id's
all as individual aliases. Device id's are exported by the PNP
bus and can now properly used to request the loading of a
matching module.

The module snd-sbawe currently exports aliases, which can never
match anything:
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0045dCTL0022*
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0044dCTL0023*
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0042dCTL0022*
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0041dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0031dCTL0021*

  alias: pnp:cCTL00e4dCTL0045dCTL0022*

  alias: pnp:cCTL00c1dCTL0042dCTL0022*
  alias: pnp:cCTL00b2dCTL0044dCTL0023*

  alias: pnp:cCTL009adCTL0041dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTL0054dCTL0031dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTL0048dCTL0031dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTL0047dCTL0031dCTL0021*

  alias: pnp:cCTL0042dCTL0031dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTL0039dCTL0031dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTL0035dCTL0031dCTL0021*

With this patch it exports only the device id's, as properly
matchable aliases:
  alias: pnp:dCTL0070*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0045*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0023*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0044*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0022*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0042*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0041*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0031*

Now, the exported value of the PNP bus can be used to autoload
a matching module:
  $ modprobe --first-time -n -v pnp:dCTL0045

kbuild: soften modpost checks when doing cross builds

2008-03-23T20:38:54+00:00

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

USB: handle idVendor of 0x0000

2008-02-01T22:34:46+00:00

Some crazy devices in the wild have a vendor id of 0x0000.  If we try to
add a module alias with this id, we just can't do it due to a check in
the file2alias.c file.  Change the test to verify that both the vendor
and product ids are 0x0000 to show a real "blank" module alias.

Note, the module-init-tools package also needs to be changed to properly
generate the depmod tables.
