- Remove only for write in #72557df7
- NetworkManger (Unbuntu LTS 12.04) insists on accessing to the phy
when it is used from LM32 and flood the dmesg so we remove the warning.

This also documents how to write the eeprom, using the new writable
file in sysfs.  A working image for the eeprom is included, for people
with devices that were not programmed by the manufacturer.

This is needed so the gennum core (as opposed to the gennum chip)
can access the SPI flash from the newly-programmed fpga image.
With this gpio setting, both the lm32 from inside the fpga
and the host computer can read and write the flash device.

Now we can properly have spec.ko drive a carrier with no mezzanine.
We can then use tools/spec-fwloader and do other mezzanine-independent
things.

The device is master-enabled at boot time, but the disable_device()
at remove time clears it. pci_enable_device() doesn't re-enable, so
we need to also pci_set_master().

Otherwise DMA works at first load, and the machine freezes at second load.

For traceability purposes, we include commit descriptions
as MODULE_VERSION information in drivers that are deployed
in CERN control system.

Ideally, the commit description should be added to all the
binary blobs installed, but the kernel module is critical
in this connection, as it is crucial to trace back quickly
the whereabouts of installed .ko sources.

The module parameter eeprom=  accepts a list of filenames (looked for
in /lib/firmware) to fake eeprom images. The list is in probe order,
which means it is unpredictable if you have more than one spec card
plugged -- but it's the same every time your reload the module.

This is a tool for developers who want to experiment with eeproms, so
this "rude" approach to multi-card setups is not considered an issue.

Now we read the whole eeprom area with a single command. Reading
time is thus 1/3 of what it was, and initialization time goes
down from 2 seconds to 0.6 seconds.

fmc-bus is now fixed WRT the dev->release(). Now devices are correctly
released when their use count reaches zero. Thus, we can't release them
ourselves.

This commit picks the new fmc-bus and adapts th own releae method.

When using the SPEC as White Rabbit grandmaster, you need to feed it
with 10MHz, which would kill the computer with an interrupt flood.

DIO interrupts are now disabled if they consume more than 80% of the
total time, which usually triggers between 100kHz and 200kHz. Network
interrupts are not affected.

Thanks to Anders Wallin for reporting the problem and helping in the
diagnosis.

This is a long-standing bug, and completely my fault.  Since our i2c
is simply a bitbanging gpio-based interface, I need to add some delays
into the operations.  Without this, accessing eeprom worked with most
mezzanines but not with all of them. The measured speed was more than 1MHz.

The devices are rated at 400kHz, so delay 1.25 usecs at each output
operation (thus, writing is three such delay for each bit).  Addin the
unpredictable software delays I see slightly more than than 200kHz
in my test system.

The driver now takes 2.5s to read the whole eeprom, but there's ample
space to make it better by fixing the FIXME in spec-i2c.c .

NetworkManager tries to access the phy, so this WARN_ON is
pretty common if the daemon is running. Now we know who is
misbehaving, and the driver can keep silent (disclaimer: this

SET_HI32(variable, highhalf) was meant to prevent warnings and
unneeded code to get the best of 32 and 64 bits. But I had a bug
in 64-bit mode. This is the trivial fix.

While building for a 64-bit host I found a few warnings in format strings.
One is corrected by using "%zi", and other ones are about resources.
Unfortunately %pR was added in 2.6.32, so to avoid introducing backporting
issues to our 2.6.24 cast the argument instead.

This includes a new version of the submodule and fixes the code
to match the new set of fields in the fmc structure. The biggest change
is in the i2c address, that is now hosted in the fmc structure (this
changes the spec-i2c file).

Also, use new fmc_reprogram().  The function allows to centralize
dumping the eeprom and the sdb tree, so the bus framework dumps or
not, and can be changed at run time.

This directory includes some tests to validate firmware loading
and other things, but they don't really apply to the new software layout.
Given things are pretty stable on that level, it's easier to remove
the directory (for which I had already dropped the docs) than to port
the code).

Thanks to Benoit Rat for noting this old code was still there.
