This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
+
* pcmcia_loop_config() and autoconfiguration (as of 2.6.36)
- If struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->config_flags is set accordingly,
+ If `struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->config_flags` is set accordingly,
pcmcia_loop_config() now sets up certain configuration values
automatically, though the driver may still override the settings
in the callback function. The following autoconfiguration options
are provided at the moment:
- CONF_AUTO_CHECK_VCC : check for matching Vcc
- CONF_AUTO_SET_VPP : set Vpp
- CONF_AUTO_AUDIO : auto-enable audio line, if required
- CONF_AUTO_SET_IO : set ioport resources (->resource[0,1])
- CONF_AUTO_SET_IOMEM : set first iomem resource (->resource[2])

* pcmcia_request_configuration -> pcmcia_enable_device (as of 2.6.36)
pcmcia_request_configuration() got renamed to pcmcia_enable_device(),
* pcmcia_request_window changes (as of 2.6.36)
Instead of win_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
- struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[2,3,4,5] for up to four ioport
+ `struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[2,3,4,5]` for up to four ioport
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_window(), the regions found there
are reserved and may be used immediately -- until pcmcia_release_window()
is called.
* pcmcia_request_io changes (as of 2.6.36)
Instead of io_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
- struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[0,1] for up to two ioport
+ `struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[0,1]` for up to two ioport
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_io(), the ports found there
are reserved, after calling pcmcia_request_configuration(), they may
be used.
* New IRQ request rules (as of 2.6.35)
Instead of the old pcmcia_request_irq() interface, drivers may now
choose between:
- - calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq.
+
+ - calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from `*p_dev->irq`.
- use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will
clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or
device ejection.
exports for them were removed.
* Unify detach and REMOVAL event code, as well as attach and INSERTION
- code (as of 2.6.16)
+ code (as of 2.6.16)::

void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

+* Move suspend, resume and reset out of event handler (as of 2.6.16)::
+
int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
+
should be initialized in struct pcmcia_driver, and handle
(SUSPEND == RESET_PHYSICAL) and (RESUME == CARD_RESET) events
* core functions no longer available (as of 2.6.11)
The following functions have been removed from the kernel source
because they are unused by all in-kernel drivers, and no external

and the card ID (form the manf_id and card_id file in the device tree).
