ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.

2011-05-23T20:01:00Z

This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is presented as a standard POSIX clock. The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via the sysfs and by a character device.

bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver

2011-05-10T19:54:54Z

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

drivers: hwspinlock: add framework

2011-02-17T17:52:03Z

Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework. Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion operations.

firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help

2009-12-29T18:58:17Z

Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.
