Revert "Staging: olpc_dcon: Remove obsolete driver"

2016-04-04T20:52:35+00:00

This reverts commit 82ef33af9dd30075adbd9f3dd161b606b8ba88ac.  It turns
out these machines are still out there, and the original patch broke
them.  So revert it, adding back the driver, so people's machines still
work properly.

staging: delete STE RMI4 hackish driver

2016-03-23T02:29:38+00:00

As of commit 62d5bdf972ebcfc99f72f734ae979713e4ca6450
"Merge branch 'synaptics-rmi4' into next" the input subsystem
has a proper RMI4 infrastructure and touchscreen driver.
The ST Ux500 platform has been converted to use the new driver
and its devicetree bindings. Delete this ancient hack.

isdn: i4l: move active-isdn drivers to staging

2016-03-05T23:00:38+00:00

The icn, act2000 and pcbit drivers are all for very old hardware,
and it is highly unlikely that anyone is actually still using them
on modern kernels, if at all.

All three drivers apparently are for hardware that predates PCI
being the common connector, as they are ISA-only and active
PCI ISDN cards were widely available in the 1990s.

Looking through the git logs, it I cannot find any indication of a
patch to any of these drivers that has been tested on real hardware,
only cleanups or global API changes.

Staging: dgap: Remove obsolete driver

2016-01-29T07:13:35+00:00

Remove support for dgap driver since there is no way to get
the firmware files required by the dgap driver into the linux-
firmware tree. The dgap driver is rendered useless without this
firmware and hence this product is considered obsolete by DIGI.

Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is a fairly sizeable set of changes.  I've put them through a
  decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
  that.

  There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
  go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
  than waiting for those last few fixups.

  Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
  temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
  cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack.  We
  deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
  back if we can deprecate another one (ehca).  We also put Intel's new
  hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
  transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
  the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
  that library.

  I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
  releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
  deletions of deprecated drivers are done.

  Summary of changes for 4.3:

   - Create drivers/staging/rdma
   - Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular
     tree
   - Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices
   - Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code
   - Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read
     and write scatter gather capabilities
   - Various iSER updates
   - Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations
   - Update SRP driver
   - Misc  mlx4 driver updates
   - Support for the mr_alloc verb
   - Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache
     daemon to speed path record queries and route resolution
   - Ininitial support for safe hot removal of verbs devices"

Staging: Add staging/rdma directory and update MAINTAINERS

2015-08-29T02:54:49+00:00

Create the rdma directory in the staging area for use as we deprecate
some older drivers and as we bring in some new drivers that are in
need of work.  Update the MAINTAINERS file so that updates to these
files go to linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org.  Expected lifespan of this
directory is three releases for any deprecated drivers moved here
and an unknown, but theoretically bounded amount of time for the new
drivers as a new core RDMA transfer library needs to be written and
the drivers modified to use it in order for them to move out of this
directory.
