* Documentation: remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman2013-01-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from the kernel documentation. 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.

* spi: create a message queueing infrastructureLinus Walleij2012-03-071-12/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rips the message queue in the PL022 driver out and pushes it into (optional) common infrastructure. Drivers that want to use the message pumping thread will need to define the new per-messags transfer methods and leave the deprecated transfer() method as NULL. Most of the design is described in the documentation changes that are included in this patch. Since there is a queue that need to be stopped when the system is suspending/resuming, two new calls are implemented for the device drivers to call in their suspend()/resume() functions: spi_master_suspend() and spi_master_resume(). ChangeLog v1->v2: - Remove Kconfig entry and do not make the queue support optional at all, instead be more agressive and have it as part of the compulsory infrastructure. - If the .transfer() method is implemented, delete print a small deprecation notice and do not start the transfer pump. - Fix a bitrotted comment. ChangeLog v2->v3: - Fix up a problematic sequence courtesy of Chris Blair. - Stop rather than destroy the queue on suspend() courtesy of Chris Blair.

* spi: documentation: emphasise spi_master.setup() semanticsDavid Brownell2009-04-211-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.

* [PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to workDavid Brownell2006-05-161-1/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This includes various updates to the SPI core: - Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths. - The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts. - Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later. - Docs say more about memory management. Highlights the use of DMA-safe i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata. - Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer; this is only one of the possible memory management policies. Nothing to break code that already works.

* [PATCH] spi: add spi_driver to SPI frameworkDavid Brownell2006-01-131-20/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1 which makes the following changes: * There's now a "struct spi_driver". This increase the footprint of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver core was previously handling directly. Documentation and comments were updated to match. * spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can at least be refcounted before spi_register_master(). To match, spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add(). * States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be deselected. We want fault recovery procedures to work the same for all controller drivers. * Minor tweaks: controller_data no longer points to readonly data; prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls; clarifies some existing kerneldoc, And a few small cleanups.

* [PATCH] spi: simple SPI frameworkDavid Brownell2006-01-131-0/+416
This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous wrappers on top). - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :) - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.) - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire) and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML mentions of other drivers in development. - No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare. Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs. The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor, and include: - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect. - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for DMA drivers that want to be fancy. - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is for driver support, and the board init support uses static init. - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk who've helped nudge this framework into existence. As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support that this driver framework will need to evolve. From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com> Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.
