Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter

2011-05-07T00:52:31+00:00

Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This
requires changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to
be too large for kmalloc).

tty: move obsolete and broken generic_serial drivers to drivers/staging/generic_serial/

2011-02-23T01:09:33+00:00

As planned by Arnd Bergmann, this moves the following drivers to the
drivers/staging/generic_serial directory where they will be removed
after 2.6.41 if no one steps up to claim them.
	generic_serial
	rio
	ser_a2232

	synclink
	rocket
	cyclades
	moxa
	mxser
	isicom
	bfin_jtag_comm

tty: move Kconfig entries into drivers/tty from drivers/char

2011-02-22T23:41:47+00:00

The Kconfig options for the drivers/tty/ files still were hanging around
in the "big" drivers/char/Kconfig file, so move them to the proper
location under drivers/tty and drivers/tty/hvc/

hvc: add Blackfin JTAG console support

2011-02-17T19:12:40+00:00

This converts the existing bfin_jtag_comm TTY driver to the HVC layer so
that the common HVC code can worry about all of the TTY/polling crap and
leave the Blackfin code to worry about the Blackfin bits.

  kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05+00:00

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

tty: move drivers/serial/ to drivers/tty/serial/

2011-01-13T20:10:18+00:00

The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.

This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.
