This huge patch bumps the ddbridge driver to version 0.9.29. Compared to the vendor driver package, DD OctoNET including GTL link support, and all DVB-C Modulator card support has been removed since this requires large changes to the underlying DVB core API, which should eventually be done separately, and, after that, the functionality/device support can be added back rather easy. While the diff is rather large, the bump is mostly a big refactor of all data structures. Yet, the MSI support (message signaled interrupts) is greatly improved, also all currently available CI single/duo bridge cards are fully supported. More changes compared to the upstream driver: - the DDB_USE_WORKER flag/define was removed, kernel worker functionality will be used. - coding style is properly fixed (zero complaints from checkpatch) - all (not much though) CamelCase has been fixed to kernel_case - (private) IOCTLs temporarily removed (which are mainly used to provide rarely-used FPGA update functionality) Great care has been taken to keep all previous changes and fixes (e.g. kernel logging via dev_*(), pointer annotations and such) intact. Permission to reuse and mainline the driver code was formally granted by Ralph Metzler <rjkm@metzlerbros.de>.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
