Qualcomm development of the MSM SOC framebuffer driver has
diverged significantly from the driver used by Android. This
is a snapshot of our current driver, in all it's agony. We are
putting this in staging to help with the process of converging
the two drivers.
At this point, the driver has been tested only in dumb
framebuffer mode.

This patch adds the adis16255 driver to the build system under the staging directory.
It solves also most issues mentioned in TODO list:
- sample rate exported to sysfs
- spi_adis16255_bringup and spi_adis16255_shutdown encapsulated
- chip selftest in spi_adis16255_bringup
- kernel messages reduced to a reasonable number
I removed the TODO file, because ther was only the reset of the gyroscope left.
This is IMOH not necessary for the actual driver.
There are also some typos in adis.c file. This patch should get rid of them as well.

Kernel module (device driver) for dt3155 frame grabber
video4linux2 compliant (finally). Works with "xawtv -f".
======================================================
This driver is written (almost) from scratch, using the
allocator developed for dt3155pci see bellow). The driver
uses videobuf-dma-contig interface modified to use the above
mentioned allocator instead of dma_alloc_coheren().
The first thing to do was to design a new allocator based
on allocating a configurable number of 4MB chunks of memory,
that latter are broken into frame buffers of 768x576 bytes
kept in different FIFOs (queues). As far as the driver autoloads
as a kernel module during kernel boot, the allocation of 4MB
chunks succeeds.
The driver keeps three FIFOs: one for 4MB chunks, one for free
buffers (available for allocations) and one for buffers already
allocated. Allocation/deallocation is done automatically though
the video4linux videobuf subsystem (some pointers to functions
are replaced by driver supplied functions).
Sure, there are problems:
1. The device tested to work with "xawtv -f" either via read()
method (DT3155_STREAMING not selected), or via mmap() method
(DT3155_STREAMING is selected) only. This coresponds to either
cap->capabilities = V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE | V4L2_CAP_READWRITE;
or
cap->capabilities = V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE | V4L2_CAP_STREAMING;
but not when
cap->capabilities = V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE |
V4L2_CAP_STREAMING |
V4L2_CAP_READWRITE;
This is because xawtv calls poll() before starting streaming,
but videobuf_poll_stream() automatically starts reading if streaming
is not started.
This selection is made during kernel configuration (for now).
2. Works for CCIR, but should work for RS-170 (not tested)
This is made also during kernel configuration.
3. Could work for multiple dt3155 frame grabbers in a PC,
(private data is allocated during PCI probe() method), but
is not tested due to lack of a second board.
4. Not tested on a BIG ENDIAN architecture.
5. Many others you could find .... :-)
All critics, comments, suggestions are wellcome.

The Intel Restricted Access Region Handler provides a buffer allocation
mechanism to RAR users. Since the intended usage model is to lock out
CPU access to RAR (the CPU will not be able to access RAR memory), this
driver does not access RAR memory, and merely keeps track of what areas
of RAR memory are in use. It has it's own simple allocator that does
not rely on existing kernel allocators (SLAB, etc) since those
allocators are too tightly coupled with the paging mechanism, which isn't
needed for the intended RAR use cases.
An mmap() implementation is provided for debugging purposes to simplify
RAR memory access from the user space. However, it will effectively be
a no-op when RAR access control is enabled since the CPU will not be
able to access RAR.
This driver should not be confused with the rar_register driver. That
driver exposes an interface to access RAR registers on the Moorestown
platform. The RAR handler driver relies on the rar_register driver for
low level RAR register reads and writes.
This patch was generated and built against the latest linux-2.6 master
branch.

It turns out that Mimio has a userspace solution for this product using
libusb, and the in-kernel driver is just getting in the way now and
causing problems. So they have asked that the in-kernel driver be

supports their libusb solution for all distros, I am removing the
in-kernel driver.

This patch supersedes the earlier ones sent by Manu Abraham to add
the Broadcom Crystal HD driver to the staging tree, per discussion
with him about it. I've been working with Broadcom's Naren Sankar
on this driver for a number of months, and had already talked Naren
about submitting this on Broadcom's behalf, didn't expect anyone
else to jump on submitting it as quickly as Manu did. ;)
This version is a one-shot deal, incorporating the original driver,
Manu's coding style clean-ups, udev device creation support from
Edgar 'gimli' Hucek, and a number of other small tweaks from myself
and Scott Davilla, the other individual who has been working closely
on this code with Naren and I.
I've tested this iteration of the code lightly on a mini pci-e board
in a ThinkPad T61p running x86_64 Fedora 12, with the expected results,
and will test further on other systems with other variants of the card
(I have three varieties of this device currently in hand). Scott has
also tested on assorted primarily i686 varieties of Ubuntu, and Naren
has tested with both Fedora and Ubuntu, iirc.
Note: only the 70012 is currently supported by this driver, 70015
support will follow later. Also note that Blu-Ray support isn't
enabled (at the firmware level), due to misc fun related to the
BD encryption scheme, DRM, etc. :\
I *do* have a git tree containing the driver, lib, gst plugin and
firmware that I'm working from at the moment[*], as there are inter-
dependencies between the driver and lib, and the driver can be used
with kernels going a ways back (I've only tested back to 2.6.18 as
it exists in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). I'm exporting from there,
into a linux-next tree, then generating patches from there. The goal
is to feed everything upstream as quickly as possible, but there are
users who want this code for earlier kernels too...
The firmware will be submitted for inclusion in dwmw2's linux-firmware
tree once there is a suitable redistribution-no-modification type of
license on it (I believe Naren is working with Broadcom legal to get
that in place).

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.

The author has found a number of problems with the current version
of this driver in the current kernel, and is reworking it to get
things working again. Because of that, it would be better to remove
the driver now and add it back in a future kernel release.

The agnx driver in the staging tree is broken, does not work, and
development is dead. The developers have asked for it to be removed
so it now is.
