Merge tag 'cleanup-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson:
"This is a good healthy set of various code removals. Total net delta
is 8100 lines removed.
Among the larger cleanups are:
- Removal of old Samsung S3C DMA infrastructure by Arnd
- Removal of the non-DT version of the 'lager' board by Magnus Damm
- General stale code removal on OMAP and Davinci by Rickard Strandqvist
- Removal of non-DT support on am3517 platforms by Tony Lindgren
... plus several other cleanups of various platforms across the board"

To be completely clear, any at91 binding can change at +any time. So, be sure to use a Device Tree Binary and a Kernel Image generated from +the same source tree. +Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ABI.txt file for a +definition of a "Stable" binding/ABI. +This statement will be removed by AT91 MAINTAINERS when appropriate. + +Naming conventions and best practice: +- SoCs Device Tree Source Include files are named after the official name of + the product (at91sam9g20.dtsi or sama5d33.dtsi for instance). +- Device Tree Source Include files (.dtsi) are used to collect common nodes that can be + shared across SoCs or boards (sama5d3.dtsi or at91sam9x5cm.dtsi for instance). + When collecting nodes for a particular peripheral or topic, the identifier have to + be placed at the end of the file name, separated with a "_" (at91sam9x5_can.dtsi + or sama5d3_gmac.dtsi for example). +- board Device Tree Source files (.dts) are prefixed by the string "at91-" so + that they can be identified easily. Note that some files are historical exceptions + to this rule (sama5d3[13456]ek.dts, usb_a9g20.dts or animeo_ip.dts for example). diff --git a/Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/DMA.txt b/Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/DMA.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 3ed82383efea..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/DMA.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,46 +0,0 @@ - S3C2410 DMA - =========== - -Introduction ------------- - - The kernel provides an interface to manage DMA transfers - using the DMA channels in the CPU, so that the central - duty of managing channel mappings, and programming the - channel generators is in one place. - - -DMA Channel Ordering --------------------- - - Many of the range do not have connections for the DMA - channels to all sources, which means that some devices - have a restricted number of channels that can be used. - - To allow flexibility for each CPU type and board, the - DMA code can be given a DMA ordering structure which - allows the order of channel search to be specified, as - well as allowing the prohibition of certain claims. - - struct s3c24xx_dma_order has a list of channels, and - each channel within has a slot for a list of DMA - channel numbers.
