      [PATCH] macsonic/jazzsonic network drivers update · efcce839
      Finn Thain authored
      
      
      The purpose of this patch:
      
      - Adopt the DMA API (jazzsonic, macsonic & core driver).
      
      - Adopt the driver model (macsonic).
      
      This part was cribbed from jazzsonic. As a consequence, macsonic once
      again works as a module. Driver model is also used by the DMA calls.
      
      - Support 16 bit cards (macsonic & core driver, also affects jazzsonic)
      
      This code was adapted from the mac68k linux 2.2 kernel, where it has
      languished for a long time.
      
      - Support more 32-bit mac cards (macsonic)
      
      Also from mac68k repo.
      
      - Zero-copy buffer handling (core driver)
      
      Provides a nice performance improvement. The new algorithm incidentally
      helped to replace the old Jazz DMA code.
      
      The patch was tested on a variety of macs (several 32-bit quadra built-in
      NICs, a 16-bit LC PDS NIC and a 16-bit comm-slot NIC), and also on MIPS
      Jazz.

      [PATCH] tms380tr: move to DMA API · 504ff16c
      Jochen Friedrich authored
      
      
      This patch makes tms380tr use the new DMA API.  Now that on Alpha, this API
      also supports bus master DMA for ISA (platform) devices, i changed the
      driver to use this new API.
      
      This also works around a bug in the firmware loader: The example provided
      in Documentation/firmware_class no longer works, as the firmware loader now
      calls get_kobj_path_length() and the kernel promptly oopses, as the
      home-grown device doesn't have a parent.  Of course, this doesn't happen
      with a "real" device which has its bus (or pseudo bus in the case of
      platform) as parent.
      
      Converted tms380tr to use new DMA API:
        - proteon.c, skisa.c: use platform pseudo bus to create a struct device
        - Space.c: delete init hooks
        - abyss.c, tmspci.c: pass struct device to tms380tr.c
        - tms380tr.c, tms380tr.h: new DMA API, use real device fo firmware loader

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
