*	kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset	Greg Kroah-Hartman	2008-01-24
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has. This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

*	UIO: Hilscher CIF card driver	Hans-Jürgen Koch	2007-07-18
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	this is a patch that adds support for Hilscher CIF DeviceNet and Profibus cards. I tested it on a Kontron CPX board, and Thomas reviewed it. You can find the user space part here: http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/cif-0.1.0.tar.gz Notes: cif_api.c is the main file you want to look at. It contains the functions to open, close, mmap and so on. cif_dps.c adds functions specific to Profibus cards, and cif_dn.c contains functions for DeviceNet cards. cif.c is a universal playground, it's just a small test program. The user space part of this UIO driver is still work in progress, and not everything is tested yet. At the moment, the thread in cif_api.c contains some code that artificially makes the card generate interrupts, this was added for testing and will be removed later. But the driver already contains all the functions needed for useful operation, so it gives a good idea of how such a thing looks like. For comparison, here's what you get from the manufacturer (www.hilscher.com) when you ask for a Linux 2.6 driver: http://www.tglx.de/private/hjk/cif-orig-2.6.tar.bz2 WARNING: Don't look at the code for too long, you might become sick :-) Signed-off-by: Hans-Jürgen Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
*	UIO: Add the User IO core code	Hans J. Koch	2007-07-18
	This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself. It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to process interrupts and control memory accesses. See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this interface.
