2006-11-29	[MTD] Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for exported symbols.	David Woodhouse	1	-9/+9
	While we're fixing up the newly-added symbol, change the neighbouring ones too, for consistency and also to reflect the author's interpretation of the GPL -- which is that _no_ non-GPL modules are permitted. The author always intended his code to be released under the GPL, and believes that any new interpretation of 'EXPORT_SYMBOL' as being any different from 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL' is entirely invalid; the GPL requires that _all_ exports have the semantics of the new 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL', which means the extra four characters are entirely redundant. But since those four extra characters trigger the check for illegal modules in a way that just EXPORT_SYMBOL does not, it's useful to change anyway. This action in no way indicates an admission that there is any legal distinction between the two states, and in particular does not indicate that the author believes that non-GPL modules may use symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.

2006-11-29	[MTD] return error code from get_mtd_device()	Artem Bityutskiy	1	-11/+13
	get_mtd_device() returns NULL in case of any failure. Teach it to return an error code instead. Fix all users as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
2006-11-29	[MTD] add get and put methods	Artem Bityutskiy	1	-7/+30
	This patch adds get_device() and put_device() methods to the MTD description structure (struct mtd_info). These methods are called by MTD whenever the MTD device is get or put. They are needed when the underlying driver is something smarter then just flash chip driver, for example UBI. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
2006-11-29	[MTD] add get_mtd_device_nm() function	Artem Bityutskiy	1	-0/+38
	This patch adds one more function to the MTD interface to make it possible to open MTD devices by their names, not only numbers. This is very handy in many situations. Also, MTD device number depend on load order and may vary, while names are fixed. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
2006-09-22	[MTD] Unlock NOR flash automatically where necessary	Håvard Skinnemoen	1	-0/+10
	Introduce the MTD_STUPID_LOCK flag which indicates that the flash chip is always locked after power-up, so all sectors need to be unlocked before it is usable. If this flag is set, and the chip provides an unlock() operation, mtd_add_device will unlock the whole MTD device if it's writeable. This means that non-writeable partitions will stay locked. Set MTD_STUPID_LOCK in fixup_use_atmel_lock() so that these chips will work as expected.

2006-05-25	[MTD] Remove the only useless readv implementation	Thomas Gleixner	1	-32/+0

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+419
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
