  • This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
    and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
    way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

    The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
    in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
    usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
    the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
    a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
    anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

    A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
    needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
    it is time to just throw them out.

    A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
    counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
    is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

    List of outdated 00-INDEX:
    Documentation: (4/10)
    Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
    Documentation/timers: (1/0)
    Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
    Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
    Documentation/locking: (0/1)
    Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
    Documentation/power: (1/1)
    Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
    Documentation/arm: (1/0)
    Documentation/x86: (0/9)
    Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
    Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
    Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
    Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
    Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
    Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
    Documentation/spi: (1/0)
    Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
    Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
    Documentation/fb: (0/1)
    Documentation/block: (0/1)
    Documentation/networking: (6/37)
    Documentation/vm: (1/3)

    Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
    are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
    00-INDEX).

    I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
    but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
    we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
    if we just want to delete them anyway.

    As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
    see where the discussion is going.

  • This allows easier modification to the eeprom than loading the
    fmc-write-eeprom module. The carrier driver will refuse writing if
    the FPGA is not running the golden gateware image, so writing in
    practice is only available at manufacture/development time.

  • This driver exports the memory area associated with the mezzanine card
    as a misc device, so users can access registers.

  • This driver allows to reprogram the EEPROM in a mezzanine, to store
    its own identifiers during manufacturing or to save other useful data.

  • This simple do-nothing mezzanine driver shows how to write a mezzanine
    driver, that can also handle interrupts reported by the carrier.

  • This fake carrier is designed to help FMC users understand how a
    carrier driver works, and to experiment the behaviour with EEPROM
    reprogramming (with a mezzanine driver commited later). This carrier
    can register up to 4 (fake) mezzanines.

    We have real carriers (both on PCI-E and VME), but they are bigger
    things and are not part of this submission.

  • This is selected sections of the current manual for fmc-bus, as
    developed outside of the kernel before submission.

    Like the other patches in this set, it corresponds to commit ab23167f of
    the repository at ohwr.org
