  • 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 owner module reference of the pata_of_platform's scsi_host is
    initialized to pata_platform's one, because pata_of_platform driver
    use a scsi_host_template defined in pata_platform. So this drivers
    can be unloaded even if the scsi device is being accessed.

    This fixes it by propagating the scsi_host_template to pata_of_platform
    driver. The scsi_host_template is passed through a new
    argument of __pata_platform_probe().

  • IRQ flags can be obtained from resource structure, there are no need
    to use additional field in the platform_data to store these values.
    This patch removes this field and convert existing users of this driver
    to use IRQ flags from the resources.

  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
    markings need to be removed.

    This change removes the use of __devinit from some include files that
    were previously missed.

    Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
    in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

  • Make it possible to pass mbus_dram_target_info to the sata_mv
    driver via the platform data, make the sata_mv driver program
    the window registers based on this data if it is passed in, and
    make the Orion platform setup code use this method instead of
    programming the SATA mbus window registers by hand.
