dmi: add support for exact DMI matches in addition to substring matching

2014-05-18T13:58:06Z

commit 5017b2851373ee15c7035151853bb1448800cae2 upstream. dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match. This is not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different systems. Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition to the substring matching using strstr(). The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV: { .ident = "Intel D510MO", .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"), DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"), }, } Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula Cc: Cc: Chris Wilson Cc: Cornel Panceac Acked-by: Daniel Vetter Cc: Greg KH Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Staging: hv: add driver_data to hv_vmbus_device_id

2011-08-25T17:25:37Z

This is going to be needed by some drivers that handle more than one device, like all other bus types do, so prepare for that in advance before the user/kernel api is used. Cc: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver

2011-05-10T19:54:54Z

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

phylib: Support phy module autoloading

2010-04-02T21:30:39Z

We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

spi: prefix modalias with "spi:"

2009-09-23T14:39:43Z

This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...). I'm not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason. This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.
