docs: driver-model: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-21T13:47:26+00:00

Convert the various documents at the driver-model, preparing
them to be part of the driver-api book.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

docs/driver-model: Document device.groups

2011-08-24T23:01:24+00:00

Several drivers use device_create_file() where device.groups should be
used instead. This patch documents that and also removes the comments
about device classes since these should not be used in new code in the
way documented until now in Documentation/driver-model/device.txt.

driver core: remove the driver-model structures from the documentation

2011-05-07T01:01:05+00:00

Remove the struct bus_type, class, device, device_driver from the
driver-model docs. With another patch add them to device.h, since
they are out of date. That will keep things up to date and provide
a better way to document this stuff.

2005-06-20T22:15:29+00:00

This updates some driver data documentation:

 - removes references to some fields that haven't been there for a
   long time now, e.g. pre-kobject or even older;

 - giving more information about the probe() method;

 - adding an example of how platform_data is used

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
