MFGPT: move clocksource menu

2010-03-06T19:26:28+00:00

Move the CS5535 MFGPT hrtimer kconfig option to be with the other MFGPT
options.  This makes it easier to find and also removes it from the main
"Device Drivers" menu, where it should not have been.

firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help

2009-12-29T18:58:17+00:00

Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move
from the older to the newer drivers.  However, do not label ieee1394 as
"Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default
stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start
doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for
unforeseen issues.

Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer
firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio
devices.  Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd
generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on
library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

cs5535: add a generic clock event MFGPT driver

2009-12-15T16:53:28+00:00

This is based on the old code in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, but is
modular and not Geode-specific.  There's no reason why the clock event
device needs to be registered so early at boot; the clockevent code is
perfectly capable of dynamic switching.

LinuxPPS: core support

2009-06-18T20:04:04+00:00

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".

PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.

Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.

To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch.  It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal.  The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

drivers: add support for the TI VLYNQ bus

2009-06-17T02:47:52+00:00

Add support for the TI VLYNQ high-speed, serial and packetized bus.

This bus allows external devices to be connected to the System-on-Chip and
appear in the main system memory just like any memory mapped peripheral.
It is widely used in TI's networking and multimedia SoC, including the AR7
SoC.

create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/

2008-12-19T09:42:32+00:00

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/

regulator: Build on non-ARM platforms

2008-10-28T21:47:17+00:00

When the regulator API was merged it was added to the separate Kconfig
which ARM uses for drivers but not the generic one in drivers/.  Since
there is nothing ARM-specific about the API add it there too.
