USB: serial: drop unused uaccess includes

2026-05-11T07:34:08+00:00

These drivers (and usb-serial.c) no longer use anything from uaccess.h directly so drop the unnecessary include directives. Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold

USB: serial: drop unused tty_flip includes

USB: serial: drop unused tty_driver includes

2026-05-11T07:33:40+00:00

USB serial drivers do not use anything from tty_driver.h directly (only core does) so drop the unnecessary include directives. Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold

USB: serial: drop driver owner initialization

2024-08-26T13:28:25+00:00

Core in usb_serial_register_drivers() already sets the .owner, so driver does not need to. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold

docs: usb: rename files to .rst and add them to drivers-api

2019-06-20T12:28:36+00:00

While there are a mix of things here, most of the stuff were written from Kernel developer's PoV. So, add them to the driver-api book. A follow up for this patch would be to move documents from there that are specific to sysadmins, adding them to the admin-guide.

USB: serial: fix module-license macros

2017-11-04T10:58:00+00:00

Several GPL-2.0 drivers used "GPL" rather than "GPL v2" in their MODULE_LICENSE macros; fix the macros to match the licenses. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: serial: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-04T10:55:38+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all USB files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/usb/

2017-11-04T10:48:02+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

usb: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-08T23:01:39+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: serial: remove driver version information

2012-10-31T19:48:06+00:00

Remove all MODULE_VERSION macros and driver-version information (except for garmin_gps which uses it in a status reply). It is the kernel version that matters and not some private version scheme which rarely even gets updated. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
