habanalabs: add skeleton driver

2019-02-18T08:46:43Z

This patch adds the habanalabs skeleton driver. The driver does nothing at this stage except very basic operations. It contains the minimal code to insmod and rmmod the driver and to create a /dev/hlX file per PCI device. Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Oded Gabbay Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: fastrpc: Add Qualcomm fastrpc basic driver model

2019-02-12T09:40:30Z

This patch adds basic driver model for Qualcomm FastRPC driver which implements an IPC (Inter-Processor Communication) mechanism that allows for clients to transparently make remote method invocations across processor boundaries. Each DSP rpmsg channel is represented as fastrpc channel context and is exposed as a character device for userspace interface. Each compute context bank is represented as fastrpc-session-context, which are dynamically managed by the channel context char device.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1. Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to have their own git tree" lately. Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here: - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the use of it in containerized systems. This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a distinct lack of good judgement :) - binder updates and fixes - mei driver updates - fpga driver updates and additions - thunderbolt driver updates - soundwire driver updates - extcon driver updates - nvmem driver updates - hyper-v driver updates - coresight driver updates - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see happen. Good stuff. - other tiny driver updates and fixes. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'char-misc-4.21-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: (116 commits) MAINTAINERS: add another Android binder maintainer intel_th: msu: Fix an off-by-one in attribute store stm class: Add a reference to the SyS-T document stm class: Fix a module refcount leak in policy creation error path char: lp: use new parport device model char: lp: properly count the lp devices char: lp: use first unused lp number while registering char: lp: detach the device when parallel port is removed char: lp: introduce list to save port number bus: qcom: remove duplicated include from qcom-ebi2.c VMCI: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation char/rtc: Use of_node_name_eq for node name comparisons misc: mic: fix a DMA pool free failure ptp: fix an IS_ERR() vs NULL check genwqe: Fix size check binder: implement binderfs binder: fix use-after-free due to ksys_close() during fdget() bus: fsl-mc: remove duplicated include files bus: fsl-mc: explicitly define the fsl_mc_command endianness misc: ti-st: make array read_ver_cmd static, shrinks object size ...

misc: cardreader: add new Alcor Micro Cardreader PCI driver

2018-12-17T07:26:24Z

This driver provides support for Alcor Micro AU6601 and AU6621 card readers. This is single LUN HW and it is expected to work with following standards: - Support SDR104 / SDR50 - MultiMedia Card (MMC) - Memory Stick (MS) - Memory Stick PRO (MS_Pro) Since it is a PCIe controller, it should work on any architecture supporting PCIe. For now, it was developed and tested only on x86_64. This driver is a result of RE work and was created without any documentation or real knowledge of HW internals.

misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver (VMC)

2018-05-14T14:35:42Z

This driver is a logical device which provides an interface between the hypervisor and a management partition. This interface is like a message passing interface. This management partition is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based system management. VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic logical partition functions: - Logical Partition Configuration - Boot, start, and stop actions for individual partitions - Display of partition status - Management of virtual Ethernet - Management of virtual Storage - Basic system management This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC platform. It provides a character device which allows for both request/response and async message support through the /dev/ibmvmc node. Signed-off-by: Bryant G.

lkdtm: Relocate code to subdirectory

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Highlights: - Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9 when using the hash table MMU. - Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based implementation. - A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices. - Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe hotpluggable memory and devices. - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit VDSO. - Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch. As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small fixes and cleanups as always.

misc: rtsx: Move Realtek Card Reader Driver to misc

2017-11-29T10:16:44Z

Because Realtek card reader drivers are pcie and usb drivers, and they bridge mmc subsystem and memstick subsystem, they are not mfd drivers. Greg and Lee Jones had a discussion about where to put the drivers, the result is that misc is a good place for them, so I move all files to misc. If I don't move them to a right place, I can't add any patch for this driver.
