Merge tag 'driver-core-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2013-07-02T18:44:19+00:00

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1

  Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all
  described in the shortlog.  Nice thing here is that we finally get rid
  of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had
  been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just
  removed)"

Finally eradicate CONFIG_HOTPLUG

2013-06-03T21:20:18+00:00

Ever since commit 45f035ab9b8f ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"),
it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG
turned off.  Remove all the remaining references to it.

USB: remove CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND from Documentation

2013-03-28T21:45:56+00:00

An earlier patch removed the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND symbol but forgot to
update the Documentation files.  This patch (as1676) rectifies that
omission.

USB: report submission of active URBs

2012-11-12T02:10:46+00:00

This patch (as1633) changes slightly the way usbcore handled
submissions of URBs that are already active.  It will now return
-EBUSY rather than -EINVAL, and it will call WARN_ONCE to draw
people's attention to the bug.

Merge tag 'gadget-for-v3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/balbi/usb into usb-next

2012-11-12T01:31:53+00:00

USB gadget patches from Felipe:
"usb: gadget: patches for v3.8

renesas_usbhs implements ->pullup() method, switches over
to devm_request_irq(), adds support for DMA Engine and
got a few miscelaneous cleanups.

The NCM gadget got an endianness fix and the Ethernet
gadget a frame size fix.

We're finally removing the g_file_storage gadget and
sticking to g_mass_storage and the new tcm_usb_gadget
gadgets since that was a huge duplicaton of effort anyway.

While removing g_file_storage, we also had to fix a bunch
of defconfigs which were still pointing to the old gadget.

There's a big series getting us closer to being able to
introduce our configfs interface. The series converts
functions into loadable modules which will, eventually,
be registered to the configfs interface.

Other than that there's the usual typo fixes and miscelaneous
cleanups all over the place."

usb: gadget: Remove File-backed Storage Gadget (g_file_storage).

2012-11-08T14:01:04+00:00

The File-backed Storage Gadget (g_file_storage) gadget has been replaced
with Mass Storage Gadget (g_mass_storage) which uses the composite
framework.  This commit removes g_file_storage (and most references to it).

USB: update documentation for URB_ISO_ASAP

2012-10-22T18:10:24+00:00

This patch (as1611) updates the USB documentation and kerneldoc to
give a more precise meaning for the URB_ISO_ASAP flag and to explain
more of the details of scheduling for isochronous URBs.

usb: add decriptor of persist fail for some morph usb devices

2012-08-10T19:06:39+00:00

usb: gadget: mass_storage: add documentation

2012-06-15T11:32:30+00:00

This commit adds Documentation/usb/mass-storage.txt file.  It contains
description of how to use the mass storage gadget from user space.  It
elaborates on madule parameters and sysfs interface more then it was
written in the comments in the source code.
