2020-03-24docs: mips: remove no longer needed au1xxx_ide.rst documentationBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz1-2/+0
Since the au1xxx-ide IDE host driver is no longer needed its documentation can be removed.

Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton: "Main MIPS changes: - boot_mem_map is removed, providing a nice cleanup made possible by the recent removal of bootmem. - Some fixes to atomics, in general providing compiler barriers for smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic plus fixes specific to Loongson CPUs or MIPS32 systems using cmpxchg64(). - Conversion to the new generic VDSO infrastructure courtesy of Vincenzo Frascino. - Removal of undefined behavior in set_io_port_base(), fixing the behavior of some MIPS kernel configurations when built with recent clang versions. - Initial MIPS32 huge page support, functional on at least Ingenic SoCs. - pte_special() is now supported for some configurations, allowing among other things generic fast GUP to be used. - Miscellaneous fixes & cleanups. And platform specific changes: - Major improvements to Ingenic SoC support from Paul Cercueil, mostly enabled by the inclusion of the new TCU (timer-counter unit) drivers he's spent a very patient year or so working on. Plus some fixes for X1000 SoCs from Zhou Yanjie. - Netgear R6200 v1 systems are now supported by the bcm47xx platform. - DT updates for BMIPS, Lantiq & Microsemi Ocelot systems" * tag 'mips_5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux: (89 commits) MIPS: Detect bad _PFN_SHIFT values MIPS: Disable pte_special() for MIPS32 with RiXi MIPS: ralink: deactivate PCI support for SOC_MT7621 mips: compat: vdso: Use legacy syscalls as fallback MIPS: Drop Loongson _CACHE_* definitions MIPS: tlbex: Remove cpu_has_local_ebase MIPS: tlbex: Simplify r3k check MIPS: Select R3k-style TLB in Kconfig MIPS: PCI: refactor ioc3 special handling mips: remove ioremap_cachable mips/atomic: Fix smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() mips/atomic: Fix loongson_llsc_mb() wreckage mips/atomic: Fix cmpxchg64 barriers MIPS: Octeon: remove duplicated include from dma-octeon.c firmware: bcm47xx_nvram: Allow COMPILE_TEST firmware: bcm47xx_nvram: Correct size_t printf format MIPS: Treat Loongson Extensions as ASEs MIPS: Remove dev_err() usage after platform_get_irq() MIPS: dts: mscc: describe the PTP ready interrupt MIPS: dts: mscc: describe the PTP register range ...
2019-08-08doc: Add doc for the Ingenic TCU hardwarePaul Cercueil1-0/+11
Add documentation about the Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) present in the Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs. The Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) in Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs is a multi-function hardware block. It features up to to eight channels, that can be used as counters, timers, or PWM. - JZ4725B, JZ4750, JZ4755 only have six TCU channels. The other SoCs all have eight channels. - JZ4725B introduced a separate channel, called Operating System Timer (OST). It is a 32-bit programmable timer. On JZ4770 and above, it is 64-bit. - Each one of the TCU channels has its own clock, which can be reparented to three different clocks (pclk, ext, rtc), gated, and reclocked, through their TCSR register. * The watchdog and OST hardware blocks also feature a TCSR register with the same format in their register space. * The TCU registers used to gate/ungate can also gate/ungate the watchdog and OST clocks. - Each TCU channel works in one of two modes: * mode TCU1: channels cannot work in sleep mode, but are easier to operate. * mode TCU2: channels can work in sleep mode, but the operation is a bit more complicated than with TCU1 channels. - The mode of each TCU channel depends on the SoC used: * On the oldest SoCs (up to JZ4740), all of the eight channels operate in TCU1 mode. * On JZ4725B, channel 5 operates as TCU2, the others operate as TCU1. * On newest SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channels 1-2 operate as TCU2, the others operate as TCU1. - Each channel can generate an interrupt. Some channels share an interrupt line, some don't, and this changes between SoC versions: * on older SoCs (JZ4740 and below), channel 0 and channel 1 have their own interrupt line; channels 2-7 share the last interrupt line. * On JZ4725B, channel 0 has its own interrupt; channels 1-5 share one interrupt line; the OST uses the last interrupt line. * on newer SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channel 5 has its own interrupt; channels 0-4 and (if eight channels) 6-7 all share one interrupt line; the OST uses the last interrupt line.
