Merge tag 'char-misc-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc
Pull char/misc drivers updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystems for
6.4-rc1.
It's pretty big, but due to the removal of pcmcia drivers, almost
breaks even for number of lines added vs. removed, a nice change.
Included in here are:
- removal of unused PCMCIA drivers (finally!)
- Interconnect driver updates and additions
- Lots of IIO driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- Coresight driver updates
- NVMEM driver updates, which required some OF updates
- W1 driver updates and a new maintainer to manage the subsystem
- FPGA driver updates
- New driver subsystem, CDX, for AMD systems
- lots of other small driver updates and additions
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

NVMEM layouts +================ + +NVMEM layouts are yet another mechanism to create cells. With the device +tree binding it is possible to specify simple cells by using an offset +and a length. Sometimes, the cells doesn't have a static offset, but +the content is still well defined, e.g. tag-length-values. In this case, +the NVMEM device content has to be first parsed and the cells need to +be added accordingly. Layouts let you read the content of the NVMEM device +and let you add cells dynamically. + +Another use case for layouts is the post processing of cells. With layouts, +it is possible to associate a custom post processing hook to a cell. It +even possible to add this hook to cells not created by the layout itself. |
