2016-11-10tile-srom: allow the driver to be built as a moduleChris Metcalf1-1/+2
The code was already configured that way, but the Kconfig file didn't support requesting it. A buglet caused a null pointer deref when unloading the module, but this commit also corrects that issue.

2016-08-30tile-srom: avoid krealloc(... __GFP_ZERO) patternChris Metcalf1-13/+15
Joe Perches points out [1] that this pattern isn't currently safe. This driver doesn't really need the zeroing semantic anyway; by restructuring the code slightly we can initialize all the fields of the structure up front instead.

Add a real platform bus device as a parent for the srom class devices, to prevent non-platform devices hanging from the bus root. Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2014-02-07drivers/char: delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h>Paul Gortmaker1-1/+0
None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.

Pull PTR_RET() removal patches from Rusty Russell: "PTR_RET() is a weird name, and led to some confusing usage. We ended up with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(), and replacing or fixing all the usages. This has been sitting in linux-next for a whole cycle" [ There are still some PTR_RET users scattered about, with some of them possibly being new, but most of them existing in Rusty's tree too. We have that #define PTR_RET(p) PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(p) thing in <linux/err.h>, so they continue to work for now - Linus ] * tag 'PTR_RET-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: GFS2: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO Btrfs: volume: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO drm/cma: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO sh_veu: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO dma-buf: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO drivers/rtc: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO mm/oom_kill: remove weird use of ERR_PTR()/PTR_ERR(). staging/zcache: don't use PTR_RET(). remoteproc: don't use PTR_RET(). pinctrl: don't use PTR_RET(). acpi: Replace weird use of PTR_RET. s390: Replace weird use of PTR_RET.

2011-06-10arch/tile: add hypervisor-based character driver for SPI flash ROMChris Metcalf1-0/+481
The first version of this patch proposed an arch/tile/drivers/ directory, but the consensus was that this was probably a poor choice for a place to group Tilera-specific drivers, and that in any case grouping by platform was discouraged, and grouping by function was preferred. This version of the patch addresses various issues raised in the community, primarily the absence of sysfs integration. The sysfs integration now handles passing information on sector size, page size, and total partition size to userspace as well. In addition, we now use a single "struct cdev" to manage all the partition minor devices, and dynamically discover the correct number of partitions from the hypervisor rather than using a module_param with a default value. This driver has no particular "peer" drivers it can be grouped with. It is sort of like an MTD driver for SPI ROM, but it doesn't group well with the other MTD devices since it relies on hypervisor virtualization to handle many of the irritating aspects of flash ROM management: sector awareness, background read for sub-sector writes, bit examination to determine whether a sector erase needs to be issued, etc. It is in fact more like an EEPROM driver, but the hypervisor virtualization does require a "flush" command if you wish to commit a sector write prior to writing to a different sector, and this is sufficiently different from generic I2C/SPI EEPROMs that as a result it doesn't group well with them either. The simple character device is already in use by a range of Tilera SPI ROM management tools, as well as by customers. In addition, using the simple character device actually simplifies the userspace tools, since they don't need to manage sector erase, background read, etc. This both simplifies the code (since we can uniformly manage plain files and the SPI ROM) as well as makes the user code portable to non-Linux platforms that don't offer the same MTD ioctls.
