2005-11-07[PATCH] i2c-viapro: Some adjustmentsJean Delvare
The big i2c-viapro SMBus driver update which went into 2.6.14-git1 introduced a few minor issues. Nothing critical, but I would like a few adjustments to be merged in to fix the following problems: * VIA should not be spelled Via. * Frodo Looijaard and Philip Edelbrock did not write the i2c-viapro driver. * When debugging is disabled, half of messages would be logged. * Drop an unneeded masking. * Some port reads can be avoided now that the transaction size is passed as a parameter to vt596_transaction(). * SMBus Receive Byte transactions are used for probing too (for EEPROMs), so hide errors on these too.

2005-11-07[PATCH] i2c: writing-client doc update complementJean Delvare
My latest update to the writing-clients i2c documentation file was incomplete, here's the complement. Large parts of this file are still way out-of-date, but at least now the memory allocation and freeing instructions are consistent.

2005-11-07[PATCH] RapidIO support: core baseMatt Porter
Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs over at http://www.rapidio.org The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers. There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features. However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start contributing.
