2018-05-14misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver (VMC)Bryant G. Ly1-0/+226
This driver is a logical device which provides an interface between the hypervisor and a management partition. This interface is like a message passing interface. This management partition is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based system management. VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic logical partition functions: - Logical Partition Configuration - Boot, start, and stop actions for individual partitions - Display of partition status - Management of virtual Ethernet - Management of virtual Storage - Basic system management This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC platform. It provides a character device which allows for both request/response and async message support through the /dev/ibmvmc node. Signed-off-by: Bryant G.

mei_deinit() Building mei-amt-version.o triggers a GCC warning: Documentation/misc-devices/mei/mei-amt-version.c: In function 'main': Documentation/misc-devices/mei/mei-amt-version.c:103:5: warning: 'acmd.fd' is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] if (cl->fd != -1) ^ Documentation/misc-devices/mei/mei-amt-version.c:443:21: note: 'acmd.fd' was declared here struct amt_host_if acmd; ^ GCC is correct. See, the call chain that GCC detects must be main() amt_host_if_init() mei_init() mei_deinit() But when we enter mei_deinit() struct amt_host_if acmd is still unitialized. That makes the test for (effectively) amt_host_if->mei_cl->fd bogus. But it turns out that call of mei_deinit() isn't needed at all. All of the members of mei_cl will be set later in mei_init() and none will be used before they are set. So we can simply drop this call of mei_deinit().

2013-04-08mei: bus: Add device enabling and disabling APISamuel Ortiz1-2/+5
It should be left to the drivers to enable and disable the device on the MEI bus when e.g getting probed. For drivers to be able to safely call the enable and disable hooks, the mei_cl_ops must be set before it's probed and thus this should happen before registering the device on the MEI bus. Hence the mei_cl_add_device() prototype change.

Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found.

2009-10-04max6875: Discard obsolete detect methodJean Delvare1-2/+4
There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the MAX6875, as this device can't be detected. It was there solely to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same. So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect callback. This basically divides the binary module size by 2.
