2019-06-12	fmc: Delete the FMC subsystem	Linus Walleij	1	-36/+0
	The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream. The current implementation has architectural flaws and would need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g. I2C, FPGA and GPIO. We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

2013-06-19	FMC: add a software carrier driver	Alessandro Rubini	1	-0/+36
	This fake carrier is designed to help FMC users understand how a carrier driver works, and to experiment the behaviour with EEPROM reprogramming (with a mezzanine driver commited later). This carrier can register up to 4 (fake) mezzanines. We have real carriers (both on PCI-E and VME), but they are bigger things and are not part of this submission.
