  • Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module.

    Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. I've heard rumours that it works
    with AT91SAM9260 as well, and it may be possible to share some code with
    the at91_ether driver for AT91RM9200.

    Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet,
    which can be downloaded from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682

    Changes since previous version:
    * Probe for PHY ID instead of depending on it being provided through
    platform_data.
    * Grab initial ethernet address from the MACB registers instead
    of depending on platform_data.
    * Set MII/RMII mode correctly.

    These changes are mostly about making the driver more compatible with
    the at91 infrastructure.

  • Create a driver to support the platform-specific features
    of MSI S270 laptops (and maybe other MSI laptops).
    This driver implements a backlight device for controlling LCD brightness
    (/sys/class/backlight/msi-laptop-bl/).
    In addition it allows access to the WLAN and Bluetooth states
    through a platform driver (/sys/devices/platform/msi-laptop-pf/).

  • The plan is to have two trees. One for bug fixes to be sent on a
    regular basis (-fixes) and another called -nmw which will contain items
    queued for the next merge window (hence the name). The -nmw tree
    will come & go according to need.

  • ultralinux@vger is deprecated, folks should use
    sparclinux@vger for both sparc ports.

    Eddie, Anton, and Jakub haven't been active in

    them as reports do nothing more than fill up their

  • eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is derived from
    Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented through the FiST framework for generating
    stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extends Cryptfs to provide advanced key
    management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the
    header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between
    hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need
    to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the
    encrypted file itself.

  • hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211

    This is a new driver for the VIA VT1211 Super-IO chip. It is a rewrite
    of the existing vt1211 driver (by Mark D. Studebaker and Lars Ekman)
    which has been around for a while but never made it into the main
    kernel tree.

    It is implemented as a platform driver and therefore requires
    lm_sensors 2.10.1 to function properly.

  • This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
    CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

    AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
    cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
    consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary
    compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

    The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
    AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

    The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It
    features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
    Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated
    peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
    Atmel.

    Full data sheet is available from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

    while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
    the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

    Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

    http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

    including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
    tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
    booting from SD card.

    Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
    http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
    to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
    environment for avr32-linux.

    This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
    toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
