Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly. +Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for details. + + +Usage Notes +----------- + +This driver requires the I2C adapter driver to support raw I2C messages. I2C +adapter drivers which can only handle the SMBus protocol are not supported. + +The maximum SPI message size supported by SC18IS602/603 is 200 bytes. Attempts +to initiate longer transfers will fail with -EINVAL. EEPROM read operations and +similar large accesses have to be split into multiple chunks of no more than +200 bytes per SPI message (128 bytes of data per message is recommended). This +means that programs such as "cp" or "od", which automatically use large block +sizes to access a device, can not be used directly to read data from EEPROM. +Programs such as dd, where the block size can be specified, should be used +instead. |
