cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning

2021-08-27T16:44:54+00:00

Support for cryptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated
in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if
needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has
been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April
2013).  Add a warning and a deprecation schedule.

swim: don't call blk_queue_bounce_limit

2021-04-06T15:29:47+00:00

m68k doesn't support highmem, so don't bother enabling the block layer
bounce buffer code.  Just for safety throw in a depend on !HIGHMEM.

drivers/block: remove the umem driver

2021-03-24T12:57:40+00:00

This removes the driver on the premise that it has been unused for a long
time. This is a better approach compared to changing untestable code
nobody cares about in the first place. Similarly, the umem.com website now
shows a mere Godaddy parking add.

xsysace: Remove SYSACE driver

2021-03-23T16:27:38+00:00

Sysace IP is no longer used on Xilinx PowerPC 405/440 and Microblaze
systems. The driver is not regularly tested and very likely not working for
quite a long time that's why remove it.

  block: Add n64 cart driver

block: Add n64 cart driver

2021-02-21T22:37:28+00:00

This adds support for the Nintendo 64 console's carts. Carts are a
read-only media ranging from 8mb to 64mb.

Only one cart can be connected at once, and switching it requires a
reboot.

No module support to save RAM, as the target has 8mb RAM.

block: remove skd driver

2021-02-04T14:45:32+00:00

The STEC S1220 PCIe SSD cards are EOL since 2014 and not supported by
the vendor anymore. As the skd driver for this SSD is starting to cause
problems with improvements to the block layer, stop supporting it in
newer kernel versions.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'
