Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt update/rewrite

2006-12-01T22:52:02+00:00

This is almost a rewrite of the driver-model/platform.txt documentation;
the previous text was obsolete (for several years), evidently it never
got updated to match the change from being a PC "legacy_bus" to the more
widely used core bus for most embedded systems.

[PATCH] Clean up Documentation/driver-model/overview.txt

2006-02-03T16:31:59+00:00

Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content.

These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content
and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these.  In addition,
some of the language is awkward.  Fix this.

(I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also,
patches for these will come a bit later).

[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Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,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.
