Subject: [PATCH v1 0/1] misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 09:46:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1524494812-60150-1-git-send-email-bryantly@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Steven Royer had previously attempted to upstream this
driver two years ago, but never got the chance to address
the concerns from Greg Kroah-Hartman.
The thread with the initial upstream is:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/16/918
I have addressed the following:
- Documentation
- Use of dev_dbg instead of pr_dbg
- Change to misc class
- Fixed memory barrier usages
- Addressed styling, checkpatch, renaming of functions
- General fixes to the driver to make it more inline with
existing upstream drivers.
