2009-12-01hwrng: core - Replace u32 in driver API with byte arrayIan Molton
This patch implements a new method by which hw_random hardware drivers can pass data to the core more efficiently, using a shared buffer. The old methods have been retained as a compatability layer until all the drivers have been updated.

2008-04-19PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()Rafael J. Wysocki
After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-01-11[HWRNG]: move status polling loop to data_present callbacksPatrick McHardy
Handle waiting for new random within the drivers themselves, this allows to use better suited timeouts for the individual rngs. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Acked-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
