  • c326cc023   vme: Convert VME core to register as a subsystem ... Browse Code »

    Previously, VME bridge support was treated as any other driver (using
    module_init() macro), but if VME bridge and vme_user (staging) drivers
    were compiled into the kernel, then vme_user would attempt to register
    itself before the VME core support had been loaded. This would result
    in a kernel panic.

    The load order of these built-in drivers is based on the order in which
    drivers/staging/vme and driver/vme are compiled.

    This patch changes the VME core driver to use the subsys_initcall()
    macro which ensures that it is loaded before all other VME drivers
    regardless of the order in which they are compiled.

  • db3b9e990   Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging ... Browse Code »

    This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out
    of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/.

    The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions
    they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.
