Merge tag 'staging-3.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
Pull staging tree changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window. Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we added: 622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-) But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel. Code that moved out was: - iio core code - mei driver - vme core and bridge drivers There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new drivers added to the tree: - new iio drivers - gdm72xx wimax USB driver - ipack subsystem and 2 drivers All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a while. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>" Fixed up various trivial conflicts, along with a non-trivial one found in -next and pointed out by Olof Johanssen: a clean - but incorrect - merge of the arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g20.dtsi file.

+ TODO
+ ====
+Introduction
+============
+
+These drivers add support for IndustryPack devices: carrier and mezzanine
+boards.
+
+The ipack driver is just an abstraction of the bus providing the common
+operations between the two kind of boards.
+
+TODO
+====
+
+TPCI-200
+--------
+
+* It receives the name of the mezzanine plugged in each slot by SYSFS.
+ No autodetection supported yet, because the mezzanine driver could not be
+ loaded at the time that the tpci200 driver loads.
+
+* It has a linked list with the tpci200 devices it is managing. Get rid of it
+ and use driver_for_each_device() instead.
+
+IP-OCTAL
+--------
+
+* It has a linked list which saves the devices it is currently
+ managing. It should use the driver_for_each_device() function. It is not there
+ due to the impossibility of using container_of macro to recover the
+ corresponding "struct ipoctal" because the attribute "struct ipack_device" is
+ a pointer. This code should be refactored.
+
+Ipack
+-----
+
+* The structures and API exported can be improved a lot. For example, the
+ way to unregistering mezzanine devices, doing the mezzanine driver a call to
+ remove_device() to notify the carrier driver, or the opposite with the call to
+ the ipack_driver_ops' remove() function could be improved.
