  • Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
    '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
    decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

    This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
    I also fixed the indentation.

    There are a variety of indentation styles found.

    a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
    b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
    c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
    d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
    e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
    f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
    g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

    In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
    following commend:

    $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

  • Previously, VME bridge support was treated as any other driver (using
    module_init() macro), but if VME bridge and vme_user (staging) drivers
    were compiled into the kernel, then vme_user would attempt to register
    itself before the VME core support had been loaded. This would result
    in a kernel panic.

    The load order of these built-in drivers is based on the order in which
    drivers/staging/vme and driver/vme are compiled.

    This patch changes the VME core driver to use the subsys_initcall()
    macro which ensures that it is loaded before all other VME drivers
    regardless of the order in which they are compiled.

  • This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out
    of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/.

    The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions
    they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.
