staging: vme_user: make vme_user_sysfs_class constant Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, making all 'class' structures to be declared at build time placing them into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at load time.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create() The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in the kernel tree at the same time. Cc: "Rafael J.

vme: move back to staging The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in 2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging") stating: The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully. However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups. No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only remaining board. drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original hierarchy.

staging: vme: Move 'vme/devices/' to 'vme_user/' In <db3b9e990e75573402cda22faf933760f076c033> ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging") the vme code, board and bridge drivers were moved out of the staging tree, remaining only the VME user device driver. Since this driver is the only one remaining in staging, such multi-level structure confuses more than helps. The current structure is as follows: - drivers/staging/vme/ Makefile devices/ Kconfig Makefile vme_user.c vme_user.h The top-level Makefile has the only function of calling another Makefile into the devices/ subdirectory. This latter only compiles the vme_user driver, since there is no other in the staging tree. This patch removes the unnecessary Makefile from the 'vme/' dir, move the contents of 'vme/devices' into the 'vme/' dir, and renames it to 'vme_user/' (the driver name), allowing a straightforward understanding of this driver's contents. Furthermore, it updates the MAINTAINERS file to properly reflect the new paths.
