2021-06-18mxser: Documentation, fix typosJiri Slaby1-21/+21
Fix some typos in the mxser's documentation. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210618061516.662-70-jslaby@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2021-06-18mxser: Documentation, make the docs up-to-dateJiri Slaby1-316/+9
Remove all the obsolete information from the documentation of mxser driver. Either it was about the out-of-tree driver, or it was superseded by udev et al.

2021-06-18mxser: Documentation, remove traces of callout deviceJiri Slaby1-34/+12
Callout devices are ancient history, so remove its traces from mxser's documentation. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210618061516.662-68-jslaby@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2021-06-18mxser: drop ISA supportJiri Slaby1-98/+9
While mxser PCI cards are still around and produced (Moxa provided me with two recently), ISA cards are obsolete for a long time. I haven't seen anyone using the cards and the ISA code paths are barely tested. Hence, remove ISA support from mxser driver so that we can clean the driver up.

2021-05-11Remove link to nonexistent rocket driver docsDesmond Cheong Zhi Xi1-1/+0
The rocket driver and documentation were removed in this commit, but the corresponding entry in index.rst was not removed.

2021-03-10tty: rocket, remove the driverJiri Slaby1-185/+0
While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by out-of-tree drivers. Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it, they need to clean it up first.

2021-03-10tty: cyclades, remove this orphanJiri Slaby2-12/+0
The Cyclades driver was orphaned by commit d459883e6c54 (MAINTAINERS: remove two dead e-mail) 13 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of them and to fix all the issues the driver has. On the top of that, there is no way to obtain the firmware for Z cards from the vendor as cyclades.com ceased to exist. So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

2020-07-21tty: vt: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS onesAlexander A. Klimov1-1/+1
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

2019-09-04tty: n_gsm: add ioctl to map serial device to mux'ed ttyMartin Hundebøll1-2/+9
Guessing the first tty for a gsm0710 multiplexed serial device is not currently possible, which makes it racy to use with multiple modems. Add a way to map the physical serial tty to its related mux devices using an ioctl.

2019-09-04tty: n_gsm: remove obsolete mknod doc exampleMartin Hundebøll1-12/+2
The n_gsm driver handles registration of /dev/gsmttyX nodes, so there's no need to do mknod manually. Signed-off-by: Martin Hundebøll <martin@geanix.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190710192656.60381-1-martin@geanix.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
