Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all over: - Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the "literal include" mode. - Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been converted to Python and updated for current systems. - A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links. - Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink protocol. - A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide. ... and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-6.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (193 commits) Documentation/features: Update feature lists for 6.17-rc7 docs: remove cdomain.py Documentation/process: submitting-patches: fix typo in "were do" docs: dev-tools/lkmm: Fix typo of missing file extension Documentation: trace: histogram: Convert ftrace docs cross-reference Documentation: trace: histogram-design: Wrap introductory note in note:: directive Documentation: trace: historgram-design: Separate sched_waking histogram section heading and the following diagram Documentation: trace: histogram-design: Trim trailing vertices in diagram explanation text Documentation: trace: histogram: Fix histogram trigger subsection number order docs: driver-api: fix spelling of "buses".

media: i2c: ov6650: Drop unused driver

2025-09-09T13:59:17+00:00

The ov6650 driver was introduced in v2.6.37 to support the OMAP1-based Amstrad Delta video phone. The platform still has a board file in the kernel, but support for the camera was dropped in commit ce548396a433 ("media: mach-omap1: board-ams-delta.c: remove soc_camera dependencies") in v5.9. The driver has been unused since as it has received neither ACPI nor DT support. The ov6650 driver is one of the last sensor drivers calling clk_set_rate(). This is deprecated, and calls to the function are being removed to avoid cargo-cult. As the driver is unlikely to ever be used again, drop it instead of trying to avoid call clk_set_rate().
