Merge tag 'staging-6.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

2025-06-06T18:23:37+00:00

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 6.16-rc1. Included
  in here are:

   - gpib driver cleanups and updates.

     This subsystem is _almost_ ready to be merged into the main portion
     of the kernel tree. Hopefully should happen in the next kernel
     merge cycle if all goes well.

   - sm750fb driver cleanups

   - rtl8723bs driver cleanups

   - other small driver cleanups for coding style issues

  All of these have been in for over 2 weeks with no reported issues"

staging: gpib: Add return value to request_control

2025-04-18T14:49:00+00:00

A number of drivers are unable to release control due to hardware or
software limitations. As request_system_control was defined as void,
no error could be signalled.

This patch changes the prototype of request_system_control to int and
adds the appropriate checking and returns. In the case that a board
cannot release control EINVAL is returned.  If a driver does not
implement request_system_control EPERM is returned.

staging: gpib: common: struct gpib_interface

2025-04-17T09:12:54+00:00

Using Linux code style for struct gpib_interface.

Adhering to Linux code style.

Reported by checkpatch.pl

In general, a pointer, or a struct that has elements that can reasonably be
directly accessed should never be a typedef.
