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.

driver core: remove DRIVER_ATTR

2017-09-19T07:20:33+00:00

DRIVER_ATTR is no longer in use, and driver authors should be using
DRIVER_ATTR_RW() or DRIVER_ATTR_RO() or DRIVER_ATTR_WO() instead in
order to always get the permissions correct.  So remove it so that no
one can use it anymore.

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they are out of date.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.

Driver core: driver_attribute parameters can often be const*

2009-12-23T19:23:43+00:00

Many struct driver_attribute descriptors are purely read-only
structures, and there's no need to change them. Therefore make
the promise not to, which will let those descriptors be put in
a ro section.

[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks

2005-10-28T16:52:56+00:00

In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level.  Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level.  However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.

Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it.  Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

[PATCH] Driver Core: driver model doc update

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

[PATCH] pm_message_t: more fixes in common and i386

2005-04-16T22:25:24+00:00

I thought I'm done with fixing u32 vs.  pm_message_t ...  unfortunately
that turned out not to be the case as Russel King pointed out.  Here are
fixes for Documentation and common code (mainly system devices).
