staging: nvec: Export nvec_msg_free() to clients

2011-09-30T00:41:36Z

Client code wishing to make use of nvec_write_sync() must have a way to free the returned pointer, otherwise we run out of poool memory fairly soon. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: nvec: Move implementation-only macros out of the header

2011-09-30T00:41:36Z

Those macros are needed only for implementation purposes and do not have any use for other code wishing to use nvec. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: nvec: Have nvec_write_async() return -ENOMEM on OOM

2011-09-30T00:41:35Z

Change nvec_write_async() to return an integer, 0 by default, a negative error on failure. Change nvec_write_sync() to check the return value and abort if it is negative. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: nvec: Rewrite the interrupt handler

2011-09-30T00:41:33Z

Rewrite the interrupt handler to use a state machine similar to that found in the various kernels for the Advent Vega. This also changes the code to use the new functions introduced in the previous commits. This also merges the rewrite sent in August 2011 by Marc Dietrich, and thus also includes code by him. His original patch can be found on the mailing list. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: nvec: Introduce new internal API for msg alloc/free

2011-09-30T00:40:40Z

Introduce two new functions nvec_msg_alloc() and nvec_msg_free() that allocate and free message buffers from the internal pool of messages. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

This patch fixes coding style and adds copyright notices. Signed-off-by: Marc Dietrich [jak@jak-linux.org: Merge later cleanup into that patch] Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: nvec: Include missing headers

2011-09-30T00:39:30Z

Those headers were apparently included by other headers previously, but are not anymore. Signed-off-by: Julian Andres Klode Acked-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: nvec: convert to use platform register and mfdcells

2011-08-24T21:25:30Z

This patch converts the nvec to use mfd cells and improves the registration of the platform driver. The child drivers are also converted to use mfd cells and platform registration. Signed-off-by: Marc Dietrich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
