Commit 54ff4a1d1732 ("MIPS: Alchemy: pata_platform for DB1200")
from year 2014 converted the only user of au1xxx-ide IDE host
driver (MIPS Alchemy DB1200 platform) to use pata_platform
libata host driver instead. This patch removes dead au1xxx-ide
driver code.Acked-by: David S. Miller

Pull IDE updates from David Miller:
1) Fix mem region name in tx4949ide driver, from Christophe JAILLET.
2) Make drive->dn read only, it should not be changeable by users. From
Dan Carpenter.3) Several cast fixups from Krzysztof Kozlowski.
There is also going to be a removal of a now unused IDE driver, but that
will come via the MIPS tree.* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/ide:

ide: tx4939ide: Fix the name used in a 'devm_request_mem_region()' call

The IDE core always sets ->dn correctly so changing it is never
required.Setting it to a different value than assigned by IDE core is very likely
to result in data corruption (due to wrong transfer timings being set on
the controller etc.)Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

Most of the HDIO ioctls are only used by the obsolete drivers/ide
subsystem, these can be handled by changing ide_cmd_ioctl() to be aware
of compat mode and doing the correct transformations in place and using
it as both native and compat handlers for all drivers.The SCSI drivers implementing the same commands are already doing
this in the drivers, so the compat_blkdev_driver_ioctl() function
is no longer needed now.The BLKSECTSET and HDIO_GETGEO_BIG ioctls are not implemented
in any driver any more and no longer need any conversion.Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann -
There is no need for the special cases for the cdrom ioctls any more now,
so make sure that each cdrom driver has a .compat_ioctl() callback and

Rather than relying on fs/compat_ioctl.c, this adds support

Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann:
"As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to
fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need
support for time64_t.In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of
this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead.After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot
more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the
rest of it and move it all into drivers.This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own,
but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which
is the scsi ioctl handlers. I have patches for those as well, but they

Autoloading of Falcon IDE driver modules requires converting these
drivers to platform drivers.Add platform device for Falcon IDE interface in Atari platform setup
code. Use this in the pata_falcon driver in place of the simple
platform device set up on the fly.Convert falconide driver to use the same platform device that is used
by pata_falcon also. (With the introduction of a platform device for
the Atari Falcon IDE interface, the old Falcon IDE driver no longer
loads (resource already claimed by the platform device)).Tested (as built-in driver) on my Atari Falcon.

MTIOCPOS and MTIOCGET are incompatible between 32-bit and 64-bit user
space, and traditionally have been translated in fs/compat_ioctl.c.To get rid of that translation handler, move a corresponding
implementation into each of the four drivers implementing those commands.The interesting part of that is now in a new linux/mtio.h header that
wraps the existing uapi/linux/mtio.h header and provides an abstraction
to let drivers handle both cases easily. Using an in_compat_syscall()
check, the caller does not have to keep track of whether this was
called through .unlocked_ioctl() or .compat_ioctl().Acked-by: Heiko Carstens

This reverts commit 7eec77a1816a7042591a6cbdb4820e9e7ebffe0e.
Instead of leaving disk->events completely empty, we now export the
supported events again, and tell the block layer not to forward events
to user space by not setting DISK_EVENT_FLAG_UEVENT. This allows the
block layer to distinguish between devices that for which events should
be handled in kernel only, and devices which don't support any meda
change events at all.Cc: Borislav Petkov

mmiowb() is now implied by spin_unlock() on architectures that require
it, so there is no reason to call it from driver code. This patch was
generated using coccinelle:@mmiowb@
@@
- mmiowb();and invoked as:
$ for d in drivers include/linux/qed sound; do \
spatch --include-headers --sp-file mmiowb.cocci --dir $d --in-place; doneNOTE: mmiowb() has only ever guaranteed ordering in conjunction with
spin_unlock(). However, pairing each mmiowb() removal in this patch with
the corresponding call to spin_unlock() is not at all trivial, so there
is a small chance that this change may regress any drivers incorrectly
relying on mmiowb() to order MMIO writes between CPUs using lock-free
synchronisation. If you've ended up bisecting to this commit, you can
reintroduce the mmiowb() calls using wmb() instead, which should restore
the old behaviour on all architectures other than some esoteric ia64
systems.Acked-by: Linus Torvalds
