staging: Remove the drivers for the Unisys s-Par

2022-04-20T16:39:04Z

The Unisys sub-tree of drivers/staging contains three drivers for the "Unisys Secure Partition" (s-Par(R)): visorhba, visorinput, visornic. They have no maintainers, in fact the only one that is listed in MAINTAINERS has an unreacheable email address. During 2021 and 2022 several patches have been submitted to these drivers but nobody at Unisys cared of reviewing the changes. Probably, also the "sparmaintainer" internal list of unisys.com is not anymore read by interested Unisys' engineers. Therefore, remove the drivers/staging/unisys directory and delete the relevant entries in the MAINTAINERS, Kconfig, Makefile files, then remove also the drivers/visorbus directory which is not anymore needed (it contained the driver for the virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par firmware).

staging: unisys: Switch to use new generic UUID API

2017-08-22T21:56:03Z

There are new types and helpers that are supposed to be used in new code. As a preparation to get rid of legacy types and API functions do the conversion here. While here, re-indent couple of lines to increase readability.

Unisys drivers no longer utilize procfs. Therefore, the documentation for our procfs entries is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: David Binder Signed-off-by: David Kershner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: unisys: visorbus: remove unused sysfs attribute devmajorminor/*

2016-03-28T14:30:36Z

The sysfs attribute directory at: /sys/bus/visorbus/devices/vbus:dev/devmajorminor/* or /sys/devices/visorbus/vbus:dev/devmajorminor/* previously provided a location where a visorbus function driver could publish information (for usermode use) about possibly-multiple major and minor device numbers for character devices created for a each visorbus device, using visorbus_registerdevnode(). This functionality is not currently used, so it has been removed by this cset. Signed-off-by: Tim Sell Signed-off-by: David Kershner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: unisys: visorhid: rename to visorinput

2015-10-04T08:53:34Z

This visorhid driver provides a Human Interface Device, but is not at all using HID, the protocol. It's a plain input driver, so for clarity, it is being renamed to visorinput. Signed-off-by: Tim Sell Signed-off-by: Benjamin Romer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
