Merge tag 'staging-4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1.

  There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all
  releases.

  The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging
  tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use
  anymore.

  The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging
  tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc
  codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for
  4.17-rc1 if all goes well.

  Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the
  tree, along with the normal amount of coding style churn that we all
  know and love for this codebase. I also got frustrated at the
  Meltdown/Spectre mess and took it out on the dgnc tty driver, deleting
  huge chunks of it that were never even being used.

  Full details of everything is in the shortlog.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
  reported issues"

+To connect a configured channel to a certain core component and make it

-When transceiving synchronous or isochronous data, the number of packets per USB
-transaction and the sub-buffer size need to be configured. These values
-are needed for the driver to process buffer padding, as expected by hardware,
-which is for performance optimization purposes of the USB transmission.
+	"device_name:channel_name:component_name:link_name[.param]"
 
-When transmitting synchronous data the allocated channel width needs to be
-written to 'set_subbuffer_size'. Additionally, the number of MOST frames that
-should travel to the host within one USB transaction need to be written to
-'packets_per_xact'.
+It is the concatenation of up to four substrings separated by a colon. The
+substrings contain the names of the MOST interface, the channel, the
+component driver and a custom name with which the link is going to be
+referenced with. Since some components need additional information, the
+link name can be extended with a component-specific parameter (separated by
+a dot). In case the character device component is loaded, the handle would
+also appear as a device node in the /dev directory.
 
-Internally the synchronous threshold is calculated as follows:
+Cdev component example:
+        $ echo "mdev0:ep_81:cdev:my_rx_channel" >$(DRV_DIR)/add_link
 
-	frame_size = set_subbuffer_size * packets_per_xact
 
-In case 'packets_per_xact' is set to 0xFF the maximum number of packets,
-allocated within one MOST frame, is calculated that fit into _one_ 512 byte
-USB full packet.
+Sound component example:
 
-	frame_size = floor(MTU_USB / bandwidth_sync) * bandwidth_sync
+The sound component needs an additional parameter to determine the audio
+resolution that is going to be used. The following formats are available:
 
-This frame_size is the number of synchronous data within an USB transaction,
-which renders MTU_USB - frame_size bytes for padding.
+	- "1x8" (Mono)
+	- "2x16" (16-bit stereo)
+	- "2x24" (24-bit stereo)
+	- "2x32" (32-bit stereo)
+	- "6x16" (16-bit surround 5.1)
 
-When transmitting isochronous AVP data the desired packet size needs to be
-written to 'set_subbuffer_size' and hardware will always expect two isochronous
-packets within one USB transaction. This renders
+        $ echo "mdev0:ep_81:sound:most51_playback.6x16" >$(DRV_DIR)/add_link
 
-	MTU_USB - (2 * set_subbuffer_size)
 
-bytes for padding.
-
-Note that at least 2 times set_subbuffer_size bytes for isochronous data or
-set_subbuffer_size times packts_per_xact bytes for synchronous data need to be
-put in the transmission buffer and passed to the driver.
 
-Since HDMs are allowed to change a chosen configuration to best fit its
-constraints, it is recommended to always double check the configuration and read
-back the previously written files.
+		Section 2.3 USB Padding
 
+When transceiving synchronous or isochronous data, the number of packets
+per USB transaction and the sub-buffer size need to be configured. These
+values are needed for the driver to process buffer padding, as expected by
+hardware, which is for performance optimization purposes of the USB

+When transmitting synchronous data the allocated channel width needs to be
+written to 'set_subbuffer_size'. Additionally, the number of MOST frames
+that should travel to the host within one USB transaction need to be
+written to 'packets_per_xact'.
 
-		Section 4 Routing Channels
+The driver, then, calculates the synchronous threshold as follows:
 
-To connect a channel that has been configured as outlined above to an AIM and
-make it accessible to user space applications, the attribute file 'add_link' is
-used. To actually bind a channel to the AIM a string needs to be written to the
-file that complies with the following syntax:
+	frame_size = set_subbuffer_size * packets_per_xact
 
-	"most_device:channel_name:link_name[.param]"
+In case 'packets_per_xact' is set to 0xFF the maximum number of packets,
+allocated within one MOST frame, is calculated that fit into _one_ 512 byte
+USB full packet.
 
-The example above links the channel "channel_name" of the device "most_device"
-to the AIM. In case the AIM interfaces the VFS this would also create a device
-node "link_name" in the /dev directory. The parameter "param" is an AIM dependent
-string, which can be omitted in case the used AIM does not make any use of it.
+	frame_size = floor(MTU_USB / bandwidth_sync) * bandwidth_sync
 
-Cdev AIM example:
-        $ echo "mdev0:ep_81:my_rx_channel" >add_link
-        $ echo "mdev0:ep_81" >add_link
+This frame_size is the number of synchronous data within an USB
+transaction, which renders MTU_USB - frame_size bytes for padding.
 
+When transmitting isochronous AVP data the desired packet size needs to be
+written to 'set_subbuffer_size' and hardware will always expect two
+isochronous packets within one USB transaction. This renders
 
-Sound/ALSA AIM example:
+	MTU_USB - (2 * set_subbuffer_size)
 
-The sound/ALSA AIM needs an additional parameter to determine the audio resolution
-that is going to be used. The following strings can be used:

-	- "1x8" (Mono)
-	- "2x16" (16-bit stereo)
-	- "2x24" (24-bit stereo)
-	- "2x32" (32-bit stereo)
+Note that at least (2 * set_subbuffer_size) bytes for isochronous data or
+(set_subbuffer_size * packts_per_xact) bytes for synchronous data need to
+be put in the transmission buffer and passed to the driver.
 
-        $ echo "mdev0:ep_81:audio_rx.2x16" >add_link
-        $ echo "mdev0:ep_81" >add_link
+Since adapter drivers are allowed to change a chosen configuration to best
+fit its constraints, it is recommended to always double check the
+configuration and read back the previously written files.
