This is the driver for Xillybus, which is a general-purpose interface for
data communication with FPGAs (programmable logic). Please refer to the
README included in this patch for a detailed explanation.
It was previously submitted for misc-devices, but it appears like noone's
willing to review the code (which I can understand, given its magnitude).
Hence submitted as a staging driver.

This driver is not being updated as the specifications are not able to
be gotten from CSR or anyone else. Without those, getting this driver
into proper mergable shape is going to be impossible. So remove the
driver from the tree.
If the specifications ever become available, this patch can be reverted
and the driver fixed up properly.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
"There are not too many changes this time, except two new platform
thermal drivers, ti-soc-thermal driver and x86_pkg_temp_thermal
driver, and a couple of small fixes.
Highlights:
- move the ti-soc-thermal driver out of the staging tree to the
thermal tree.
- introduce the x86_pkg_temp_thermal driver. This driver registers
CPU digital temperature package level sensor as a thermal zone.
- small fixes/cleanups including removing redundant use of

Add support for Octeon USB HCD. Tested on EdgeRouter Lite with USB

The driver has been extracted from GPL sources of EdgeRouter Lite firmware
(based on Linux 2.6.32.13). Some minor fixes and cleanups have been done
to make it work with 3.10-rc3.

To quote the TODO from staging/net/:
PC300:
The driver is very broken and cannot work with the current TTY
layer. It is inevitable to convert it to the new TTY API. If no
one steps in to adopt the driver, it will be removed in the 3.7
release.
Nothing has changed since more than _one_ year on this driver, thus
just remove it since we already moved past 3.7. If somebody steps
up and does a whole rework, he/she, of course, is free to resubmit
it. Since this is the only one in the net directory, we can remove
it as well.

paired ports (2 or 4). The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the
network packets to pass or insert the device in between the two ports.
When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, they
provide high availability for the network in the face of software

[V2: rebased to apply to 20120905 staging-next, no other changes]
The original zcache in staging is a "demo" version, and this is a massive
rewrite. This was intended to result in a merged zcache and ramster, but
that option has been blocked so, to continue forward progress on ramster
and future related projects, only ramster moves to the new codebase.
To differentiate between the old demo zcache and the rewrite, we refer
to the latter as zcache2, config'd as CONFIG_ZCACHE2. Zcache and zcache2
cannot be built in the same kernel, so CONFIG_ZCACHE2 implies !CONFIG_ZCACHE.
This developer still has hope that zcache and zcache2 will be merged
into one codebase. Until then, zcache2 can be considered a one-node
version of ramster.
No history of changes was recorded during the zcache2 rewrite and recreating
a sane one would be a Sisyphean task but, since ramster is still in
staging and has been unchanged since it was merged, presumably this
is acceptable.
This commit also provides the hooks in zcache2 for ramster, but all
ramster-specific code is provided in a separate commit.
Some of the highlights of this rewritten codebase for zcache2:
(Note: If you are not familiar with the tmem terminology, you can review
it here: http://lwn.net/Articles/454795/ )
1. Merge of "demo" zcache and the v1.1 version of zcache in ramster. Zcache
and ramster had a great deal of duplicate code which is now merged.
In essence, zcache2 *is* ramster but with no remote machine available,
but !CONFIG_RAMSTER will avoid compiling lots of ramster-specific code.
2. Allocator. Previously, persistent pools used zsmalloc and ephemeral pools
used zbud. Now a completely rewritten zbud is used for both. Notably
this zbud maintains all persistent (frontswap) and ephemeral (cleancache)
pageframes in separate queues in LRU order.
3. Interaction with page allocator. Zbud does no page allocation/freeing,
it is done entirely in zcache2 where it can be tracked more effectively.
4. Better pre-allocation. Previously, on put, if a new pageframe could not be
pre-allocated, the put would fail, even if the allocator had plenty of
partial pages where the data could be stored; this is now fixed.
5. Ouroboros ("eating its own tail") allocation. If no pageframe can be
allocated AND no partial pages are available, the least-recently-used
ephemeral pageframe is reclaimed immediately (including flushing tmem
pointers to it) and re-used. This ensures that most-recently-used
cleancache pages are more likely to be retained than LRU pages and also
that, as in the core mm subsystem, anonymous pages have a higher priority
than clean page cache pages.
6. Zcache and zbud now use debugfs instead of sysfs. Ramster uses debugfs
where possible and sysfs where necessary. (Some ramster configuration
is done from userspace so some sysfs is necessary.)
7. Modularization. As some have observed, the monolithic zcache-main.c code
included zbud code, which has now been separated into its own code module.
Much ramster-specific code in the old ramster zcache-main.c has also been
moved into ramster.c so that it does not get compiled with !CONFIG_RAMSTER.
8. Rebased to 3.5.
This new codebase also provides hooks for several future new features:
A. WasActive patch, requires some mm/frontswap changes previously posted.
A new version of this patch will be provided separately.
See ifdef __PG_WAS_ACTIVE
B. Exclusive gets. It seems tmem _can_ support exclusive gets with a
minor change to both zcache2 and a small backwards-compatible change
to frontswap.c. Explanation and frontswap patch will be provided

C. Ouroboros writeback. Since persistent (frontswap) pages may now also be
reclaimed in LRU order, the foundation is in place to properly writeback
these pages back into the swap cache and then the swap disk. This is still
under development and requires some other mm changes which are prototyped.

A new feature that desperately needs attention (if someone is looking for
a way to contribute) is kernel module support. A preliminary version of
a patch was posted by Erlangen University and needs to be integrated and
tested for zcache2 and brought up to kernel standards.
If anybody is interested on helping out with any of these, let me know!

[V2: rebased to apply to 20120905 staging-next, no other changes]
To prep for moving the ramster codebase on top of the new
redesigned zcache2 codebase, we remove ramster (as well
as its contained diverged v1.1 version of zcache) entirely.

In the System Control Module, OMAP supplies a voltage reference
and a temperature sensor feature that are gathered in the band
gap voltage and temperature sensor (VBGAPTS) module. The band
gap provides current and voltage reference for its internal
circuits and other analog IP blocks. The analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) produces an output value that is proportional
to the silicon temperature.
This patch provides a platform driver which expose this feature.
It is moduled as a MFD child of the System Control Module core
MFD driver.
This driver provides only APIs to access the device properties,
like temperature, thresholds and update rate.

This module is used by the CSR wifi driver to "abstract" away the
OS-specific parts of core functions. It will be eventually deleted, but
for now is needed as the CSR driver relies on it.

Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
added:
622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)
But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of
the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel.
Code that moved out was:
- iio core code
- mei driver
- vme core and bridge drivers
There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
drivers added to the tree:
- new iio drivers
- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers
All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a
while.

Fixed up various trivial conflicts, along with a non-trivial one found
in -next and pointed out by Olof Johanssen: a clean - but incorrect -
merge of the arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g20.dtsi file. Fix up manually
as per Stephen Rothwell.

The Configurable Gadget driver is a composite driver that allows
userspace to change at runtime the list of functions enabled in
its configuration and to configure these functions. It supports
multiple functions: acm, rndis, and mass storage.
It is usually controlled by a daemon that changes the configuration
based on user settings. For example, rndis is enabled when the user
enables sharing the phone data connection.
As an example on how to use it, the following shell commands will
make the gadget disconnect from the host and make it be re-enumerated
as a composite with 1 rndis and 2 acm interfaces, and a different
product id:
echo 0 > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/enable
echo rndis,acm > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/functions
echo 2 > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/f_acm/instances
echo -n 0x2d01 > /sys/module/g_ccg/parameters/idProduct
echo 1 > /sys/class/ccg_usb/ccg0/enable
The driver requires a gadget controller that supports software
control of the D+ pullup and the controller driver must support
disabling the pullup during composite_bind.

It was marked as BROKEN back in 2008. It is because the tty handling
in the driver is really broken.
There was some activity in January 2012 to fix the driver, but the
patch was commented to be bogus:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/29/160
and we have not heard back from the author since then:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/28/412
So since nobody stepped in and rewrote the driver, it is time to move
it out of line now. And drop it some time later if nobody comes up
with patches to fix the driver in staging.

commit 3a0db7215c
"TTY: serial, move 68360 driver to staging"
did so because the driver had remained broken since 2008. It also
added this text to the TODO file:
"If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will
be removed in the 3.4 release."
A quick search on the internet doesn't reveal anyone actively
trying to update/fix this driver, so follow through on the above
and remove it from the pending 3.4 release.
