fmc: Delete the FMC subsystem

2019-06-12T12:23:50+00:00

The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream. The current implementation has architectural flaws and would need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g. I2C, FPGA and GPIO. We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

FMC: make eeprom attribute writable

2014-02-28T23:12:08+00:00

This allows easier modification to the eeprom than loading the fmc-write-eeprom module. The carrier driver will refuse writing if the FPGA is not running the golden gateware image, so writing in practice is only available at manufacture/development time.

FMC: add a driver to write mezzanine EEPROM

2013-06-18T22:42:15+00:00

This driver allows to reprogram the EEPROM in a mezzanine, to store its own identifiers during manufacturing or to save other useful data.
