Documentation: update the devices.txt documentation

2016-03-29T17:11:44+00:00

Alan is no longer maintaining this list through the Linux assigned numbers authority. Make it a collective document by referring to "the maintainers" in plural throughout, and naming the chardev and block layer maintainers in particular as parties of involvement. Cut down and remove some sections that pertained to the process of maintaining the list at lanana.org and contacting Alan directly. Make it clear that this document, in the kernel, is the master document. Also move paragraphs around so as to emphasize dynamic major number allocation. Remove paragraph on 2.6 deprecation, that tag no longer appears anywhere in the file.

Merge tag 'iio-for-4.6a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next

Jonathan writes: First round of new IIO device support, features and cleanups for the 4.6 cycle. Device Support * ad5761 - new driver * at91_sama5d2 ADC. - new driver and MAINTAINERS entry. - minor cleanups followed. * atlas pH-SM - new driver (this has possibly the prettiest data sheet I've ever seen) * mcp3422 - mcp3425 ADC added. * mcp4725 - mcp4726 DAC added. * mma8452 - mma8451q accelerometer added. * mpl115 - mpl115a1 added (a lot bigger than it seems as this is an SPI part whereas previous parts were i2c). * si7005 - Hoperf th02 (seems to be a repackaged part) * si7020 - Hoperf th06 (seems to be a repackaged part) New features * Core - IIO_PH type. Does what it says on the tin. * max30100 - LED current configuration support. * mcp320x - more differential measurement combinations. * mma8452 - free fall deteciton - opt3001 - enable operation without a IRQ line. - device tree docs. Somehow the original docs have disappeared down a rabbit hole, so here is a new set. * st-sensors - Support active-low interrupts. Cleanups and minor / not so minor reworks * Documentation - drop some defunct ABI from the docs in staging. * presure / Kconfig - white space cleanup. * ad7150 - BIT macro usage - Alignment fixes * ad7192 - false indent fixed. * ak8975 - constify the ak_def structures * axp288 - drop a redundant double const. * dht11 - substantial reliability improvements by being more tolerant of missing start bits. - simplify the decoding algorithm * mma8452 - whitespace cleanup * mpl115 - don't bother setting i2c_client_data as nothing uses it. * mpu6050 - drop unused function parameter. * opt3001 - extract integration time as constants. - trivial refactoring.

iio: add ad5761 DAC driver

2016-01-24T14:46:21+00:00

ad5761 is a 1-channel DAC with configurable output range. The driver uses the regulator interface for its voltage ref. It shares its register layout with ad5761r, ad5721 and ad5721r. Differences: ad5761* are 16 bit, ad5721* are 12 bits. ad57*1r have an internal reference. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron

2015-09-04T17:22:09+00:00

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.3 development cycle. Like with GPIO it's a lot of stuff. If my subsystems are any sign of the overall tempo of the kernel v4.3 will be a gigantic diff. [ It looks like 4.3 is calmer than 4.2 in most other subsystems, but we'll see - Linus ] Core changes: - It is possible configure groups in debugfs. - Consolidation of chained IRQ handler install/remove replacing all call sites where irq_set_handler_data() and irq_set_chained_handler() were done in succession with a combined call to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(). This series was created by Thomas Gleixner after the problem was observed by Russell King. - Tglx also made another series of patches switching __irq_set_handler_locked() for irq_set_handler_locked() which is way cleaner. - Tglx also wrote a good bunch of patches to make use of irq_desc_get_xxx() accessors and avoid looking up irq_descs from IRQ numbers. The goal is to get rid of the irq number from the handlers in the IRQ flow which is nice. Driver feature enhancements: - Power management support for the SiRF SoC Atlas 7. - Power down support for the Qualcomm driver. - Intel Cherryview and Baytrail: switch drivers to use raw spinlocks in IRQ handlers to play nice with the realtime patch set. - Rework and new modes handling for Qualcomm SPMI-MPP. - Pinconf power source config for SH PFC. New drivers and subdrivers: - A new driver for Conexant Digicolor CX92755. - A new driver for UniPhier PH1-LD4, PH1-Pro4, PH1-sLD8, PH1-Pro5, ProXtream2 and PH1-LD6b SoC pin control support. - Reverse-egineered the S/PDIF settings for the Allwinner sun4i driver. - Support for Qualcomm Technologies QDF2xxx ARM64 SoCs - A new Freescale i.mx6ul subdriver. Cleanup: - Remove platform data support in a number of SH PFC subdrivers" * tag 'pinctrl-v4.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: (95 commits) pinctrl: at91: fix null pointer dereference pinctrl: mediatek: Implement wake handler and suspend resume pinctrl: mediatek: Fix multiple registration issue. pinctrl: sh-pfc: r8a7794: add USB pin groups pinctrl: at91: Use generic irq_{request,release}_resources() pinctrl: cherryview: Use raw_spinlock for locking pinctrl: baytrail: Use raw_spinlock for locking pinctrl: imx6ul: Remove .owner field pinctrl: zynq: Fix typos in smc0_nand_grp and smc0_nor_grp pinctrl: sh-pfc: Implement pinconf power-source param for voltage switching clk: rockchip: add pclk_pd_pmu to the list of rk3288 critical clocks pinctrl: sun4i: add spdif to pin description. pinctrl: atlas7: clear ugly branch statements for pull and drivestrength pinctrl: baytrail: Serialize all register access pinctrl: baytrail: Drop FSF mailing address pinctrl: rockchip: only enable gpio clock when it setting pinctrl/mediatek: fix spelling mistake in dev_err error message pinctrl: cherryview: Serialize all register access pinctrl: UniPhier: PH1-Pro5: add I2C ch6 pin-mux setting pinctrl: nomadik: reflect current input value ...
