virtio: console: Move file back to drivers/char/

2011-02-03T22:43:12Z

Commit 728674a7e466628df2aeec6d11a2ae1ef968fb67 moved virtio_console.c to drivers/tty/hvc/ under the perception of this being an hvc driver. It was such once, but these days it has generic communication capabilities as well, so move it to drivers/char/. In the future, the hvc part from this file can be split off and moved under drivers/tty/hvc/. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah CC: Rusty Russell Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: move hvc drivers to drivers/tty/hvc/

2011-01-13T20:03:00Z

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be built, and it really is a hvc driver. Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cs5535: deprecate older cs5535_gpio driver

2011-01-13T16:03:13Z

The newer drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c replaces drivers/misc/cs5535_gpio.c. The new driver has been in the tree for a little while, and has received some testing; it's time to mark the old one as deprecated. I'm thinking removal around 2.6.40 would be good, provided we're not missing critical functionality in the newer driver.

drivers: char: hvc: add arm JTAG DCC console support

2010-12-01T01:27:13Z

This driver adds a basic console that uses the arm JTAG DCC to transfer data back and forth. It has support for ARMv6 and ARMv7. This console is created under the HVC driver, and should be named /dev/hvcX (or /dev/hvc0 for example).
