docs: split up the driver book We don't need to keep it as a single large file anymore; split it up so that it is easier to manage and the individual sections can be read directly as plain files. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

========================================
The Linux driver implementer's API guide
========================================
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.

docs: Convert the deviceio template to RST Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API manual. Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends. But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that do port I/O :). The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions. There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory" comments lacks appeal.

component: Add documentation While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/ would be useful: - it's shorter :-) - I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components. But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ... Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs. v2: Review from Rafael: - git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst - lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes. v3: Review from Russell: - s/framework/helper - clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions. v4: Remove a few superflous "This".

Add auxiliary bus support Add support for the Auxiliary Bus, auxiliary_device and auxiliary_driver. It enables drivers to create an auxiliary_device and bind an auxiliary_driver to it. The bus supports probe/remove shutdown and suspend/resume callbacks. Each auxiliary_device has a unique string based id; driver binds to an auxiliary_device based on this id through the bus.

Add pldmfw library for PLDM firmware update The pldmfw library is used to implement common logic needed to flash devices based on firmware files using the format described by the PLDM for Firmware Update standard. This library consists of logic to parse the PLDM file format from a firmware file object, as well as common logic for sending the relevant PLDM header data to the device firmware. A simple ops table is provided so that device drivers can implement device specific hardware interactions while keeping the common logic to the pldmfw library. This library will be used by the Intel ice networking driver as part of implementing device flash update via devlink. The library aims to be vendor and device agnostic. For this reason, it has been placed in lib/pldmfw, in the hopes that other devices which use the PLDM firmware file format may benefit from it in the future. However, do note that not all features defined in the PLDM standard have been implemented. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
