spi: prefix modalias with "spi:"

2009-09-23T14:39:43Z

This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...). I'm not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason. This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.

spi: add support for device table matching

2009-09-23T14:39:43Z

With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices. Just like we do with I2C drivers. This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is overkill. This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

virtio: enhance id_matching for virtio drivers

2009-06-12T12:46:40Z

This patch allows a virtio driver to use VIRTIO_DEV_ANY_ID for the device id. This will be used by a test module that can be bound to any virtio device. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

platform: introduce module id table for platform devices

2009-03-24T23:38:24Z

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough. However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across a family of processors, even products from different companies. This makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or simply not straight-forward. Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data'). Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is defined. To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.

2008-10-13T15:05:06Z

This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx). I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays, and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so it shouldn't matter too much. (Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

pnp: fix "add acpi:* modalias entries"

2008-08-21T17:15:39Z

With 22454cb99fc39f2629ad06a7eccb3df312f8830e we added only the first entry of the device table. We need to loop over the whole device list. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

remove the v850 port

2008-07-24T17:47:24Z

Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port. If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.
