Remove kio_addr_t, and replace it with unsigned int. No known architecture needs more than 32 bits for IO addresses and ports and having a separate type for it is just messy.

This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
|
|
|
|
* New release helper (as of 2.6.17)
|
|
Instead of calling pcmcia_release_{configuration,io,irq,win}, all that's
|
|
necessary now is calling pcmcia_disable_device. As there is no valid
|
|
reason left to call pcmcia_release_io and pcmcia_release_irq, the
|
|
exports for them were removed.
|
|
|
|
* Unify detach and REMOVAL event code, as well as attach and INSERTION
|
|
code (as of 2.6.16)
|
|
void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
|
|
int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
|
|
|
|
* Move suspend, resume and reset out of event handler (as of 2.6.16)
|
|
int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
|
|
int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
|
|
should be initialized in struct pcmcia_driver, and handle
|
|
(SUSPEND == RESET_PHYSICAL) and (RESUME == CARD_RESET) events
|
|
|
|
* event handler initialization in struct pcmcia_driver (as of 2.6.13)
|
|
The event handler is notified of all events, and must be initialized
|
|
as the event() callback in the driver's struct pcmcia_driver.
|
|
|
|
* pcmcia/version.h should not be used (as of 2.6.13)
|
|
This file will be removed eventually.
|
|
|
|
* in-kernel device<->driver matching (as of 2.6.13)
|
|
PCMCIA devices and their correct drivers can now be matched in
|
|
kernelspace. See 'devicetable.txt' for details.
|
|
|
|
* Device model integration (as of 2.6.11)
|
|
A struct pcmcia_device is registered with the device model core,
|
|
and can be used (e.g. for SET_NETDEV_DEV) by using
|
|
handle_to_dev(client_handle_t * handle).
|
|
|
|
* Convert internal I/O port addresses to unsigned int (as of 2.6.11)
|
|
ioaddr_t should be replaced by unsigned int in PCMCIA card drivers.
|
|
|
|
* irq_mask and irq_list parameters (as of 2.6.11)
|
|
The irq_mask and irq_list parameters should no longer be used in
|
|
PCMCIA card drivers. Instead, it is the job of the PCMCIA core to
|
|
determine which IRQ should be used. Therefore, link->irq.IRQInfo2
|
|
is ignored.
|
|
|
|
* client->PendingEvents is gone (as of 2.6.11)
|
|
client->PendingEvents is no longer available.
|
|
|
|
* client->Attributes are gone (as of 2.6.11)
|
|
client->Attributes is unused, therefore it is removed from all
|
|
PCMCIA card drivers
|
|
|
|
* core functions no longer available (as of 2.6.11)
|
|
The following functions have been removed from the kernel source
|
|
because they are unused by all in-kernel drivers, and no external
|
|
driver was reported to rely on them:
|
|
pcmcia_get_first_region()
|
|
pcmcia_get_next_region()
|
|
pcmcia_modify_window()
|
|
pcmcia_set_event_mask()
|
|
pcmcia_get_first_window()
|
|
pcmcia_get_next_window()
|
|
|
|
* device list iteration upon module removal (as of 2.6.10)
|
|
It is no longer necessary to iterate on the driver's internal
|
|
client list and call the ->detach() function upon module removal.
|
|
|
|
* Resource management. (as of 2.6.8)
|
|
Although the PCMCIA subsystem will allocate resources for cards,
|
|
it no longer marks these resources busy. This means that driver
|
|
authors are now responsible for claiming your resources as per
|
|
other drivers in Linux. You should use request_region() to mark
|
|
your IO regions in-use, and request_mem_region() to mark your
|
|
memory regions in-use. The name argument should be a pointer to
|
|
your driver name. Eg, for pcnet_cs, name should point to the
|
|
string "pcnet_cs".
|
|
|
|
* CardServices is gone
|
|
CardServices() in 2.4 is just a big switch statement to call various
|
|
services. In 2.6, all of those entry points are exported and called
|
|
directly (except for pcmcia_report_error(), just use cs_error() instead).
|
|
|
|
* struct pcmcia_driver
|
|
You need to use struct pcmcia_driver and pcmcia_{un,}register_driver
|
|
instead of {un,}register_pccard_driver
|
