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).

drivers: visorbus: move driver out of staging

2017-12-08T15:37:50Z

Move the visorbus driver out of staging (drivers/staging/unisys/visorbus) and to drivers/visorbus. Modify the configuration and makefiles so they now reference the new location. The s-Par header file visorbus.h that is referenced by all s-Par drivers, is being moved into include/linux. Signed-off-by: David Kershner Reviewed-by: Tim Sell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Combine the include files visorchannel.h and visorbus.h so that only one include file is needed for the .c files. Reported-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: David Kershner Reviewed-by: Tim Sell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: unisys: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-28T12:20:46Z

Now that the SPDX tag is in all unisys driver files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

staging: unisys: fix up some SPDX tags

2017-11-28T12:20:46Z

One .h file was missing a SPDX tag, and another one was wrong after looking at the text of the license itself, so fix both of these issues up at the same time. Cc: David Kershner Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Kate Stewart Cc: Philippe Ombredanne Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: unisys: add SPDX identifiers to all unisys driver files

2017-11-28T12:20:46Z

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/staging/unisys files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.
