<title>pcmcia: remove PCCARD_IODYN</title>

<id>4bf1541e41d0540f9fcce8a32424ab05ae26fdca</id>
<content type='text'>
The config PCCARD_IODYN was last used in the config option PCMCIA_M8XX with
its m8xx_pcmcia driver. This driver was removed with commit 39eb56da2b53
("pcmcia: Remove m8xx_pcmcia driver"), included in v3.17, back in 2014.
Since then, the config PCCARD_IODYN is unused. Remove the config option,
the corresponding file included with this config and the corresponding
definition in the pcmcia header file.

A number of boards got removed, so this code is now orphaned.

<title>pcmcia: remove AT91RM9200 Compact Flash driver</title>

As noted by Arnd Bergmann, "we used to have three drivers for the same
hardware (pcmcia, pata and ide), and only the pcmcia driver remained
in the tree after drivers/ide/ was removed and pata_at91 did not get
converted to DT". "There is no dts file in tree that actually declares
either of them, so chances are that nobody is actually using the CF
slot on at91 any more."[1]

On this rationale, remove the AT91RM9200 Compact Flash driver, which
also assists in reaching "the goal of stopping exporting OF-specific
APIs of gpiolib".[2]

The drivers/pcmcia/pxa2xx_*.c are essentially part of the
board files, but for historic reasons located in drivers/pcmcia.

Move them into the same place as the actual board file to avoid
lots of machine header inclusions.

I have no reason to believe these boards have any more users and I
haven't tested them for several years.  Removing them may simplify
other changes to the various PXA boards people still care about.
The recent conversion of pxa2xx_spi to GPIO descriptors for example
had to update this board despite no one caring or testing.

Great boards that got me started in kernel development, RIP!

Commit 9d3239147d6d ("ARM: pxa: remove Compulab pxa2xx boards") removes
the config MACH_ARMCORE in ./arch/arm/mach-pxa/Kconfig.

Hence, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py warns on non-existing configs:

The driver was introduced in 2.6.11 in the pre-git times with commit
"[PATCH] mips: vR41xx updates". However, even back then, this driver
was not able to be compiled, as a number of udpates had been missing
from this driver: It still provided a "-&gt;get_io_map" callback (removed
for v2.5.66) and a "-&gt;inquire_socket" callback and used socket_cap_t
(removed for v2.5.72). Moreover, this driver failed to be brought and
be kept up to date; e.g. it still provides '-&gt;register_callback',
incompatible with a change committed for v2.6.14 in
commit 7f316b033b36 ("[PATCH] pcmcia: remove socket register_callback"),
and uses INIT_WORK() with three arguments which was removed in
commit 65f27f38446e1 ("WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead
of context data")

Add a library for the MAX1600 PCMCIA power switch device.  This is a
dual-channel device, controlled via four GPIO signals per channel.
Two signals control the Vcc output, and two control the Vpp output.
