staging: ks7010: add driver from Nanonote extra-repository

2016-06-08T05:42:53+00:00

See the TODO for details where this driver came from. Only a few minor
changes were made to make the driver suitable for staging:

* updated Kconfig help text and dependencies
* added TODO
* removed two __DATE__ and __TIME__ printouts to allow reproducible builds
* added to staging main Kconfig + Makefile

Tested on a Renesas Salvator-X board with a Spectec SDW-823 card. I
could connect to a WPA-protected network.

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.

staging: lustre: make lustre dependent on LNet

2016-03-11T01:48:53+00:00

In the case of lustre routers you only need a functioning
LNet stack. Especially since often the routers are very
light weight and want to avoid any addition software that
would create additional pressures on the system.

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: drop kbuild workaround dummy module from top dir

2016-02-08T02:40:03+00:00

This is essentially a revert of 86f69fe9c069dd8608d238581eea259caa1dfc99
("Staging: workaround build system bug"), but to call it a revert would
imply it was wrong -- rather it seems more like it is just no longer
required anymore.

It doesn't list the full details of the failing use case, but the most
obvious would appear to be a "make allnoconfig" that subsequently had set
just CONFIG_STAGING=y in the .config file, to give:

  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$ grep STAGING ../staging-allno/.config
  CONFIG_STAGING=y
  # CONFIG_STAGING_MEDIA is not set
  # CONFIG_STAGING_BOARD is not set
  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$

After building this .config (on ARM, just to be different), we see that
built-in.o is created, and the final vmlinux links OK:

  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$ ls -l ../staging-allno/drivers/staging/built-in.o
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 paul paul 257 Nov 16 18:06 ../staging-allno/drivers/staging/built-in.o
  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$ file ../staging-allno/drivers/staging/built-in.o
  ../staging-allno/drivers/staging/built-in.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1, not stripped
  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$ nm ../staging-allno/drivers/staging/built-in.o
  nm: ../staging-allno/drivers/staging/built-in.o: no symbols
  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$ ls -l ../staging-allno/vmlinux
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 paul paul 1236326 Nov 16 18:07 ../staging-allno/vmlinux
  paul@builder:~/git/linux-head$

I also tested an "allmodconfig" and did not see any problems there
either.  Switching back to x86-64 and testing several things there didn't
show any issues either.  So it appears we do not need to carry the
workaround in tree any longer.

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.
