[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: add proper Kconfig, Makefile entries

2006-06-28T00:32:43+00:00

Replace the temp makefile hacks with proper CONFIG entries, which are also added to Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: add new pc8736x_gpio module

2006-06-28T00:32:43+00:00

Add the brand new pc8736x_gpio driver. This is mostly based upon scx200_gpio.c, but the platform_dev is treated separately, since its fairly big too. Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: add empty common-module

2006-06-28T00:32:42+00:00

Add the nsc_gpio common-support module as an empty shell. Next patch starts the migration of the common gpio support routines. Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Remove old HW RNG support

2006-06-26T16:58:19+00:00

This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number Generator support by a fully generic RNG API. This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules. With this patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG available now. Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap" devices. (Written by Deepak Saxena). This patch series includes the old patches by Deepak Saxena. The old x86-rng driver has beed split. The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through /sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience. For now it is sufficient to use cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

[PATCH] powerpc: console_initcall ordering issues

2006-06-10T18:02:05+00:00

From: Milton Miller The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the console to be selected. It turns out that the add_preferred_console was being called after the hvc_console driver was registered. It only works when it is called before the console driver is registered. Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection during console_initcall processing.

[PATCH] RTC subsystem: VR41XX driver

2006-04-11T13:18:47+00:00

This patch updates VR4100 series RTC driver. * This driver supports new RTC subsystem. * Simple set time/read time test worked fine. Signed-off-by: Yoichi Yuasa Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] powerpc: add hvc backend for rtas

2006-03-28T05:45:28+00:00

Current Cell hardware is using the console through a set of rtas calls. This driver is needed to get console output on those boards. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] powerpc: hvc_console updates

2006-03-28T05:45:26+00:00

These are some updates from both Ryan and Arnd for the hvc_console driver: The main point is to enable the inclusion of a console driver for rtas, which is currrently needed for the cell platform. Also shuffle around some data-type declarations and moves some functions out of include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h and into a new drivers/char/hvc_console.h file. Signed-off-by: "Ryan S. Arnold" Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
