powerpc/powernv: Add driver for operator panel on FSP machines

2016-06-29T07:33:46+00:00

Implement new character device driver to allow access from user space
to the operator panel display present on IBM Power Systems machines
with FSPs.

This will allow status information to be presented on the display which
is visible to a user.

The driver implements a character buffer which a user can read/write
by accessing the device (/dev/op_panel). This buffer is then displayed on
the operator panel display. Any attempt to write past the last character
position will have no effect and attempts to write more characters than
the size of the display will be truncated. The device may only be accessed
by a single process at a time.

mn10300: use RTC_DRV_CMOS instead of CONFIG_RTC

2016-06-25T23:20:08+00:00

nn10300 has a dependency on mc146818_get_time/mc146818_set_time,
which we want to move from the mc146818rtc.h header into the
rtc subsystem, which in turn is not usable on mn10300.

This changes mn10300 to use the modern rtc-cmos driver instead
of the old RTC driver, and that in turn lets us completely
remove the read_persistent_clock/update_persistent_clock callbacks.

char/genrtc: remove the rest of the driver

2016-06-03T22:23:36+00:00

No architecture uses the genrtc driver any more, so let's kill it off
for good. This now also includes asm-generic/rtc.h, which is otherwise
completely unused.

char/genrtc: remove powerpc support

2016-06-03T22:23:35+00:00

PowerPC is the last architecture using the GEN_RTC driver on some
machines, but we can migrate them all to using the RTC_DRV_GENERIC
driver instead now.

This moves over the CONFIG_GEN_RTC option from drivers/char into
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig and makes it just select the
replacement driver instead, for the only reason of not breaking
existing defconfig and .config files that users may have.

char/genrtc: remove m68k support

2016-06-03T22:23:28+00:00

The asm/rtc.h header is only used for the old gen_rtc driver
that has been replaced by rtc-generic. According to Geert
Uytterhoeven, nobody has used the old driver on m68k for
a long time, so we can now just remove the header file
and disallow the driver in Kconfig.

All files that used to include asm/rtc.h are now changed so
they include the headers that were used implicitly through
asm/rtc.h.

char/genrtc: remove parisc support

2016-06-03T22:23:04+00:00

This architecture selects RTC_CLASS unconditionally, so the GEN_RTC
has not worked here for a long time.

Now we can remove both the asm/rtc.h header and the Kconfig dependency
for CONFIG_GEN_RTC.

char/genrtc: remove mn10300 support

2016-06-03T22:23:03+00:00

The genrtc driver serves no purpose on mn10300 because it drives the
same hardware as the original rtc.c driver, and the newer rtc-generic.c
or rtc-cmos.c drivers on architectures that use the asm-generic/rtc.h
header.

I assume it was initially only added for completeness when the
mn10300 port was done, but the older rtc.c driver was always used
instead.

We can also stop include asm-generic/rtc.h now, because we
just call mc146818_set_time() directly.

It would be nice to change the architecture to use the rtc-cmos driver
next, and remove support for the old rtc driver as well.

char/genrtc: remove alpha support

2016-06-03T22:23:02+00:00

The genrtc driver serves no purpose on Alpha because it drives the
same hardware as the original rtc.c driver, and the newer rtc-generic.c
or rtc-cmos.c drivers on architectures that use the asm-generic/rtc.h
header.

The defconfig uses CONFIG_RTC=y, so this driver is not used by default.
At one point it was used to abstract a quirk for the "Marvel" platform,
but it does not do this any more after the code was moved into yet
another driver in arch/alpha/kernel/rtc.c.

char/genrtc: x86: remove remnants of asm/rtc.h

2016-06-03T22:20:07+00:00

Commit 3195ef59cb42 ("x86: Do full rtc synchronization with ntp") had
the side-effect of unconditionally enabling the RTC_LIB symbol on x86,
which in turn disables the selection of the CONFIG_RTC and
CONFIG_GEN_RTC drivers that contain a two older implementations of
the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS driver.

This removes x86 from the list for genrtc, and changes all references
to the asm/rtc.h header to instead point to the interfaces
from linux/mc146818rtc.h.
