  • I noticed that many source files include while they do
    not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

    In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
    files including but without any other occurence of "pci"
    or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
    compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
    false positives manually.

    My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
    positives remaining. Untested files are:

    arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev6.c
    arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev7.c

    I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
    the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
    changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

    Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted
    to LKML yesterday:
    [PATCH] scatterlist.h needs types.h

  • This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing
    the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things,
    drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now
    and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver.

    In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s),
    the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform
    code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole
    tree of devices.

    The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered
    from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be
    "probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching
    that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as
    expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer).

    This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge
    and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.

  • MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
    function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
    allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
    dependency on tty.h.

  • The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally
    gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and
    remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with
    the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use
    the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5
    defconfigs build.

  • According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
    drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
    function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
    fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
    moved to the console directory.

    Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
    field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
    version.

    The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
    loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
    also not be loaded.

  • This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
    similar to pci_device_id. This allows a device table to be generated,
    which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
    loading.

    In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
    module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied. Those patches are

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
