misc: panel: Move all suboptions into a big if section

2017-02-10T14:32:53+00:00

All 18 suboptions related to the panel driver have individual dependencies on PANEL. Replace them by a single "if PANEL / endif # PANEL" section for easier dependency management. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: panel: Remove reference to misc device support

2017-02-10T14:32:53+00:00

As of commit 7c5763b8453a9487 ("drivers: misc: Remove MISC_DEVICES config option"), misc device support no longer needs to be enabled manually. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: fix typo on Kconfig

2017-02-03T10:49:06+00:00

When panel driver was moved from staging to misc a new line was missing to be added on Kconfig file. Fixes: 305b37bd01c2 ("misc: Move panel driver out of staging") Signed-off-by: Miguel Bernal Marin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: sram: Integrate protect-exec reserved sram area type

2017-01-25T10:48:03+00:00

Introduce a new "protect-exec" reserved sram area type which is makes use of the the existing functionality provided for the "pool" sram region type for use with the genalloc framework and with the added requirement that it be maintained as read-only and executable while allowing for an arbitrary number of drivers to share the space. This introduces a common way to maintain a region of sram as read-only and executable and also introduces a helper function, sram_exec_copy, which allows for copying data to this protected region while maintaining locking to avoid conflicts between multiple users of the same space. A region of memory that is marked with the "protect-exec" flag in the device tree also has the requirement of providing a page aligned block of memory so that the page attribute manipulation does not affect surrounding regions. Also, selectively enable this only for builds that support set_memory_* calls, for now just ARM, through the use of Kconfig.

misc: retire the old BMP085 driver

2016-08-31T12:11:33+00:00

Patches merged to the IIO BMP085 driver makes it fully compliant with all features found in this old misc driver. Retire this old driver in favor of the new one in the proper subsystem.

misc: delete bh1780 driver

2016-08-15T13:48:23+00:00

The Rohm BH1780 ambient light sensor has a new driver with extended functionality (proper runtime PM) in the appropriate framework IIO, it can be found at: drivers/iio/light/bh1780.c The MISC driver symbol CONFIG_SENSORS_BH1780 does not appear in any defconfigs, so it should safe to delete.

Merge char-misc-next into staging-next

2016-02-22T22:46:24+00:00

This resolves the merge issues and confusions people were having with the goldfish drivers due to changes for them showing up in two different trees. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc/bmp085: Enable building as a module

2016-02-08T07:01:45+00:00

Commit 985087dbcb02 'misc: add support for bmp18x chips to the bmp085 driver' changed the BMP085 config symbol to a boolean. I see no reason why the shared code cannot be built as a module, so change it back to tristate.
