[PATCH] pcmcia: add some Documentation
Add some information useful for PCMCIA device driver authors to Documentation/pcmcia/, and reference it in dmesg in case of hash mismatches. Also add a reference to pcmciautils to Documentation/Changes. With recent changes, you don't need to concern yourself with pcmcia-cs even if you have PCMCIA hardware, so the example above the list needed to be adapted as well.

PCMCIAutils

-----------
|

PCMCIAutils replaces pcmcia-cs (see below). It properly sets up

PCMCIA sockets at system startup and loads the appropriate modules
|

for 16-bit PCMCIA devices if the kernel is modularized and the hotplug

subsystem is used.

Pcmcia-cs

---------
|

|

PCMCIA (PC Card) support is now partially implemented in the main
|

kernel source. Pay attention when you recompile your kernel ;-).
|
||||
Also, be sure to upgrade to the latest pcmcia-cs release.

Matching of PCMCIA devices to drivers is done using one or more of the
|
||||
following criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
- manufactor ID
|
||||
- card ID
|
||||
- product ID strings _and_ hashes of these strings
|
||||
- function ID
|
||||
- device function (actual and pseudo)
|
||||
|
||||
You should use the helpers in include/pcmcia/device_id.h for generating the
|
||||
struct pcmcia_device_id[] entries which match devices to drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to match product ID strings, you also need to pass the crc32
|
||||
hashes of the string to the macro, e.g. if you want to match the product ID
|
||||
string 1, you need to use
|
||||
|
||||
PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID1("some_string", 0x(hash_of_some_string)),
|
||||
|
||||
If the hash is incorrect, the kernel will inform you about this in "dmesg"
|
||||
upon module initialization, and tell you of the correct hash.
|
||||
|
||||
You can determine the hash of the product ID strings by running
|
||||
"pcmcia-modalias %n.%m" [%n being replaced with the socket number and %m being
|
||||
replaced with the device function] from pcmciautils. It generates a string
|
||||
in the following form:
|
||||
pcmcia:m0149cC1ABf06pfn00fn00pa725B842DpbF1EFEE84pc0877B627pd00000000
|
||||
|
||||
The hex value after "pa" is the hash of product ID string 1, after "pb" for
|
||||
string 2 and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use this small tool to determine the crc32 hash.
|
||||
simply pass the string you want to evaluate as argument to this program,
|
||||
e.g.
|
||||
$ ./crc32hash "Dual Speed"

This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
|
||||
|
||||
* in-kernel device<->driver matching
|
||||
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 long (as of 2.6.11)
|
||||
ioaddr_t should be replaced by kio_addr_t 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".
