  • 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

  • nn10300 has a dependency on mc146818_get_time/mc146818_set_time,
    which we want to move from the mc146818rtc.h header into the
    rtc subsystem, which in turn is not usable on mn10300.

    This changes mn10300 to use the modern rtc-cmos driver instead
    of the old RTC driver, and that in turn lets us completely
    remove the read_persistent_clock/update_persistent_clock callbacks.

  • The genrtc driver serves no purpose on mn10300 because it drives the
    same hardware as the original rtc.c driver, and the newer rtc-generic.c
    or rtc-cmos.c drivers on architectures that use the asm-generic/rtc.h
    header.

    I assume it was initially only added for completeness when the
    mn10300 port was done, but the older rtc.c driver was always used
    instead.

    We can also stop include asm-generic/rtc.h now, because we
    just call mc146818_set_time() directly.

    It would be nice to change the architecture to use the rtc-cmos driver
    next, and remove support for the old rtc driver as well.

  • Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the
    kernel.

    This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter
    board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which
    is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.
