Henrik Austad a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

Alessandro Rubini 5c9a87367d FMC: make eeprom attribute writable
This allows easier modification to the eeprom than loading the
fmc-write-eeprom module.  The carrier driver will refuse writing if
the FPGA is not running the golden gateware image, so writing in
practice is only available at manufacture/development time.

Alessandro Rubini 4debfe409b FMC: add a char-device mezzanine driver
This driver exports the memory area associated with the mezzanine card
as a misc device, so users can access registers.

Alessandro Rubini 6007b1bd0f FMC: add a driver to write mezzanine EEPROM
This driver allows to reprogram the EEPROM in a mezzanine, to store
its own identifiers during manufacturing or to save other useful data.

Alessandro Rubini 056d83f3c3 FMC: add a software mezzanine driver
This simple do-nothing mezzanine driver shows how to write a mezzanine
driver, that can also handle interrupts reported by the carrier.

Alessandro Rubini 6c62a895e5 FMC: add a software carrier driver
This fake carrier is designed to help FMC users understand how a
carrier driver works, and to experiment the behaviour with EEPROM
reprogramming (with a mezzanine driver commited later). This carrier
can register up to 4 (fake) mezzanines.

We have real carriers (both on PCI-E and VME), but they are bigger
things and are not part of this submission.
