  • Files in include/dt-bindings/ may be useful to any OS that uses DT, when
    building the OS binary itself, not just when building DTB files. Since
    some OSs are not GPL, they need non-GPL headers. This change relicenses
    two of the useful files so that they can be used under the MIT license
    when desired. I wrote these files and NVIDIA legal has approved this
    change. Geert also ack'd the change; he fixed some spelling issues in the
    comments.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • The Marvell ICU unit is found in the CP110 block of the Marvell Armada
    7K and 8K SoCs. It collects the wired interrupts of the devices located
    in the CP110 and turns them into SPI interrupts in the GIC located in
    the AP806 side of the SoC, by using a memory transaction.

    Until now, the ICU was configured in a static fashion by the firmware,
    and Linux was relying on this static configuration. By having Linux
    configure the ICU, we are more flexible, and we can allocate dynamically
    the GIC SPI interrupts only for devices that are actually in use.

    The driver was initially written by Hanna Hawa .

  • These defines are used to allow values used for configuration to be
    easily human readable and will lessen the chance of logical mistakes.

  • The Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) present on certain MIPS systems
    can be used to route external interrupts to individual VPEs and CPU
    interrupt vectors. It also supports a timer and software-generated
    interrupts.
