pcmcia: remove obsolete host controller drivers

2026-03-30T05:28:13+00:00

PCMCIA is almost completely obsolete (the last computers supporting it natively were from ~2009), and the general consensus [1] seems to be that support for it should be gradually removed from the kernel. In 2023, an initial step of removing all the PCMCIA char drivers was taken in commit 9b12f050c76f ("char: pcmcia: remove all the drivers"), and that has not been reverted, so it seems logical to continue this process by removing more low-hanging fruit. These host controller drivers have had no meaningful changes since their status was discussed in 2022 [2], and are unlikely to have any remaining users. Remove them and a couple references to them in comments. The i82365 and tcic drivers are for ISA-attached host controllers, which are even less likely to be used nowadays than ones on other buses. The i82092 driver has almost certainly not been used in over 20 years. It was broken by a null pointer dereference since the dawn of Git history (2.6.12-rc2 in 2005) until someone fixed it in 2021 in commit e39cdacf2f66 ("pcmcia: i82092: fix a null pointer dereference bug"). From their dmesg log [3], it is clear they were testing in an emulated environment and not on real hardware. i82365.h is used by drivers other than i82365 and is therefore retained.

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

pcmcia: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros

On x86, make allmodconfig && make W=1 C=1 reports: WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_rsrc.o WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/pcmcia/i82092.o Add the missing invocation of the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro to all files which have a MODULE_LICENSE(). This includes files which did not produce a warning with the x86 allmodconfig since they may cause this warning with other configurations.

drivers/pcmcia: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

2017-11-02T22:50:50+00:00

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/pcmcia/

2017-04-20T11:02:32+00:00

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a device to access or modify the kernel image. To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down. The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the default values for those parameters is. Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition to manually coded parameters. This patch annotates drivers in drivers/pcmcia/. Suggested-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: linux-pcmcia@lists.infradead.org

pcmcia: Remove typedef in structs and emum

2015-05-30T13:54:05+00:00

The Linux kernel coding style guidelines suggest not using typedefs for structure and enum types. This patch gets rid of the typedefs for cirrus_state_t, vg46x_state_t and pcic_id. Also, the names of the structs are changed to drop the _t, to make the name look less typedef-like. The following Coccinelle semantic patch detects the cases for struct type: @tn@ identifier i; type td; @@ -typedef struct i { ... } -td ; @@ type tn.td; identifier tn.i; @@ -td + struct i [linux@dominikbrodowski.net: fix patch to apply cleanly after e632cd94723e was applied first] Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski
