[ARM] 3096/1: Add SharpSL Zaurus power and battery management core driver

2005-11-10T17:42:29+00:00

Patch from Richard Purdie

This patch adds a power and battery management core driver which with
the addition of the right device files, supports the c7x0 and cxx00
series of Sharp Zaurus handhelds.

The driver is complex for several reasons. Battery charging is manually
monitored and controlled. When suspended, the device needs to
periodically partially resume, check the charging status and then
re-suspend. It does without bothering the higher linux layers as
a full resume and re-suspend is unnecessary. The code is carefully
written to avoid interrupts or calling code outside the module under
these circumstances. It also vets the various wake up sources and
monitors the device's power situation.

Hooks to limit the backlight intensity and to notify the battery
monitoring code of backlight events are connected/added as the
backlight is one of the biggest users of power on the device.

[DRIVER MODEL] Convert platform drivers to use struct platform_driver

2005-11-09T22:32:44+00:00

This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually
remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for
platform device drivers.

[PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason

2005-11-09T15:55:57+00:00

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

search pattern:
/UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h

Create platform_device.h to contain all the platform device details.

Convert everyone who uses platform_bus_type to include
linux/platform_device.h.

[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.

[ARM] Don't include mach-types.h unnecessarily

2005-09-29T10:15:51+00:00

It's pointless to include mach-types.h if you're not going to use
anything from it.  These references were removed as a result of:

grep -lr 'asm/mach-types\.h' . | xargs grep -L 'machine_is_\|MACH_TYPE_\|MACHINE_START\|machine_type'

[PATCH] SharpSL: Add missing hunk from backlight update

2005-09-17T18:49:58+00:00

This hunk from the sharpsl/corgi backlight update appears to have got lost
somewhere along the way.  Its needed to match the other changes.

[PATCH] SharpSL: Abstract model specifics from Corgi Backlight driver

2005-09-13T15:22:31+00:00

Separate out the Sharp Zaurus c7x0 series specific code from the Corgi
backlight driver.  Abstract model/machine specific functions to corgi_lcd.c
via sharpsl.h

This enables the driver to be used by the Zaurus cxx00 series.

[PATCH] Support powering sharp zaurus sl-5500 LCD up and down

2005-09-07T23:57:20+00:00

This adds support for powering Zaurus's video up and down.  PDA without
screen is kind of useless, so it is quite important...  I'll have to figure
out how to really control the frontlight, because LCD without that is quite
hard to read.
