Greg Kroah-Hartman 53c43c5ca1 Revert "Staging: olpc_dcon: Remove obsolete driver"
This reverts commit 82ef33af9d.  It turns
out these machines are still out there, and the original patch broke
them.  So revert it, adding back the driver, so people's machines still
work properly.

Linus Walleij 8bb7e27bbb staging: delete STE RMI4 hackish driver
As of commit 62d5bdf972
"Merge branch 'synaptics-rmi4' into next" the input subsystem
has a proper RMI4 infrastructure and touchscreen driver.
The ST Ux500 platform has been converted to use the new driver
and its devicetree bindings. Delete this ancient hack.

Arnd Bergmann a921e9bd4e isdn: i4l: move active-isdn drivers to staging
The icn, act2000 and pcbit drivers are all for very old hardware,
and it is highly unlikely that anyone is actually still using them
on modern kernels, if at all.

All three drivers apparently are for hardware that predates PCI
being the common connector, as they are ISA-only and active
PCI ISDN cards were widely available in the 1990s.

Looking through the git logs, it I cannot find any indication of a
patch to any of these drivers that has been tested on real hardware,
only cleanups or global API changes.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma

Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is a fairly sizeable set of changes.  I've put them through a
  decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
  that.

  There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
  go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
  than waiting for those last few fixups.

  Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
  temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
  cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack.  We
  deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
  back if we can deprecate another one (ehca).  We also put Intel's new
  hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
  transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
  the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
  that library.

  I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
  releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
  deletions of deprecated drivers are done.

  Summary of changes for 4.3:

   - Create drivers/staging/rdma
   - Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular
     tree
   - Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices
   - Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code
   - Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read
     and write scatter gather capabilities
   - Various iSER updates
   - Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations
   - Update SRP driver

   - Support for the mr_alloc verb
   - Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache

   - Ininitial support for safe hot removal of verbs devices"

Doug Ledford 2dfcad3ade Staging: Add staging/rdma directory and update MAINTAINERS
Create the rdma directory in the staging area for use as we deprecate
some older drivers and as we bring in some new drivers that are in
need of work.  Update the MAINTAINERS file so that updates to these
files go to linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org.  Expected lifespan of this
directory is three releases for any deprecated drivers moved here
and an unknown, but theoretically bounded amount of time for the new
drivers as a new core RDMA transfer library needs to be written and
the drivers modified to use it in order for them to move out of this
directory.

Christian Gromm 57562a7241 Staging: most: add MOST driver's core module
This patch adds the core module of the MOST driver to the kernel's driver
staging area. This module is part of the MOST driver and handles the
configuration interface in sysfs, the buffer management and the data
routing.

MOST defines the protocol, hardware and software layers necessary to allow
for the efficient and low-cost transport of control, real-time and packet
data using a single medium (physical layer). Media currently in use are
fiber optics, unshielded twisted pair cables (UTP) and coax cables. MOST
also supports various speed grades up to 150 Mbps.
For more information on MOST, visit the MOST Cooperation website:
www.mostcooperation.com.

Cars continue to evolve into sophisticated consumer electronics platforms,
increasing the demand for reliable and simple solutions to support audio,
video and data communications. MOST can be used to connect multiple
consumer devices via optical or electrical physical layers directly to one
another or in a network configuration. As a synchronous network, MOST
provides excellent Quality of Service and seamless connectivity for
audio/video streaming. Therefore, the driver perfectly fits to the mission
of Automotive Grade Linux to create open source software solutions for
automotive applications.

The driver consists basically of three layers. The hardware layer, the
core layer and the application layer. The core layer consists of the core
module only. This module handles the communication flow through all three
layers, the configuration of the driver, the configuration interface
representation in sysfs, and the buffer management.
For each of the other two layers a selection of modules is provided. These
modules can arbitrarily be combined to meet the needs of the desired
system architecture. A module of the hardware layer is referred to as an
HDM (hardware dependent module). Each module of this layer handles exactly
one of the peripheral interfaces of a network interface controller (e.g.
USB, MediaLB, I2C). A module of the application layer is referred to as an
AIM (application interfacing module). The modules of this layer give access
to MOST via one the following ways: character devices, ALSA, Networking or
V4L2.

To physically access MOST, an Intelligent Network Interface Controller
(INIC) is needed. For more information on available controllers visit:
www.microchip.com

The driver works together with cfg80211, which is the kernel side of

chipset is fullmac where the MLME is managed in hardware.

The driver worked from kernel version 2.6.38 and being now ported

Alan Cox 2cbf7fe2d5 i2o: move to staging
The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.

The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.

We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.

It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.

Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.

The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

Linus Torvalds dab363f938 Staging patches for 3.19-rc1
Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.
 
 We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing,
 but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed
 overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
 
 Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
 well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details.
 
 The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
 out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel.  This is code that
 has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
 millions of devices with no issues.  Yes, the code is horrid, and the
 userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
 due to legacy issues that we have no control over.  Because so many
 devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
 well promote it out of staging.
 
 This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
 participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
 
 There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
 that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
 that work for another year at the earliest.  If that ever happens, and
 Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
 
 As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing
 it for the past few years with no problems.  I'll send a MAINTAINERS
 entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google
 developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I
 checked they were, which was good.
 
 All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no

Philipp Zabel 6556f7f82b drm: imx: Move imx-drm driver out of staging
The imx-drm driver was put into staging mostly for the following reasons,
all of which have been addressed or superseded:
 - convert the irq driver to use linear irq domains
 - work out the device tree bindings, this lead to the common of_graph
   bindings being used
 - factor out common helper functions, this mostly resulted in the
   component framework and drm of_graph helpers.

Before adding new fixes, and certainly before adding new features,
move it into its proper place below drivers/gpu/drm.

Jeff Kirsher d09e9b160f staging: bcm: remove driver
The Beceem WiMAX driver was barely function in its current state
and was non-functional on 64 bit systems.  Based on repeated
statements from Greg KH that he wanted the driver removed, I am
removing the driver.

The current version of the et131x driver has been accepted into the

staging.

The MAINTAINERS entry has not been touched here, as the patch to
add the driver to drivers/net modifies it correctly.

This driver has been functional and stable throughout the year it has spent

and improvements during this period.

This is the second submission of this move-out, after making several style
improvements, as suggested by Dan Carpenter.

Greg Kroah-Hartman a4102f90e8 staging: remove nokia_hp4p driver
The Bluetooth maintainer has been complaining about it for a while, and
I shouldn't have merged it over his objections.  There also has been no
real work done on it at all to get it out of the staging tree, so just
delete the code for now.

If someone wants to get this fixed up properly, feel free to revert this
commit and send the revert, along with cleanups and we will be glad to
consider it.

The driver has been broken and disabled for several kernel versions now.
It doesn't have a maintainer anymore, and most of the people who've
worked on it have moved on. There's also still a long list of issues in
the TODO file before it can be moved out of staging. Until someone can
put in the work to make the driver work again and move it out of
staging, remove it from the kernel.

Magnus Damm 382063d91e staging: board: Initial board staging support
Add staging board base support to allow continuous upstream
in-tree development and integration of platform devices.

Helps developers integrate devices as platform devices for
device drivers that only provide platform device bindings.
This in turn allows for incremental development of both
hardware feature support and DT binding work in parallel.

Two separate pieces of board staging functionality is
provided to ease per-board staging board support:
 - The board_staging() macro allows easy per-board callbacks
 - The board_staging_dt_node_available() provides DT node checking

Tested on the KZM9D board with the emxx_udc staging driver.
