Merge tag 'staging-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

2014-12-16T02:06:13+00:00

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.

  We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good
  thing, but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines
  removed overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.

  Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
  well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid
  details.

  The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder
  code out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel.  This is code
  that has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the
  tens of millions of devices with no issues.  Yes, the code is horrid,
  and the userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going
  to change due to legacy issues that we have no control over.  Because
  so many devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable,
  might as well promote it out of staging.

  This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
  participating agreed that this was the best way forward.

  There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
  that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
  that work for another year at the earliest.  If that ever happens, and
  Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.

  As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been
  doing it for the past few years with no problems.  I'll send a
  MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk
  to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or
  not, last I checked they were, which was good.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
  reported issues"

drm: imx: Move imx-drm driver out of staging

2014-11-25T23:40:39+00:00

The imx-drm driver was put into staging mostly for the following reasons,
all of which have been addressed or superseded:
 - convert the irq driver to use linear irq domains
 - work out the device tree bindings, this lead to the common of_graph
   bindings being used
 - factor out common helper functions, this mostly resulted in the
   component framework and drm of_graph helpers.

Before adding new fixes, and certainly before adding new features,
move it into its proper place below drivers/gpu/drm.

staging: bcm: remove driver

2014-10-20T02:30:15+00:00

The Beceem WiMAX driver was barely function in its current state
and was non-functional on 64 bit systems.  Based on repeated
statements from Greg KH that he wanted the driver removed, I am
removing the driver.

staging: et131x: Remove et131x driver from drivers/staging

2014-10-03T20:55:14+00:00

The current version of the et131x driver has been accepted into the
main tree at /drivers/net/ethernet, so it can now be removed from
staging.

The MAINTAINERS entry has not been touched here, as the patch to
add the driver to drivers/net modifies it correctly.

xillybus: Move out of staging

2014-09-24T06:44:16+00:00

This driver has been functional and stable throughout the year it has spent
in the staging area. It has been patched for minor bugs, coding style issues
and improvements during this period.

This is the second submission of this move-out, after making several style
improvements, as suggested by Dan Carpenter.

staging: remove nokia_hp4p driver

2014-08-30T20:10:25+00:00

The Bluetooth maintainer has been complaining about it for a while, and
I shouldn't have merged it over his objections.  There also has been no
real work done on it at all to get it out of the staging tree, so just
delete the code for now.

If someone wants to get this fixed up properly, feel free to revert this
commit and send the revert, along with cleanups and we will be glad to
consider it.
