Merge tag 'staging-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit bigger than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy and mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new developers sending in their first changes, which is nice to see. Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the rtl8192u wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was maintaining them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using it anymore, and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger effort to remove unused and old wifi drivers from the system. The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was dropped, and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out what tree it will come back in from and who will be responsible for it, and if it really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in a network subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure yet. Other smaller changes in here are: - Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's getting close. - rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and structures - vme_user coding style cleanups - other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers - octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches it.) All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'staging-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: (256 commits) Revert "staging: octeon: remove typedef in enum cvmx_spi_mode_t" Revert "staging: octeon: remove typedef in enum cvmx_helper_interface_mode_t" Revert "staging: octeon: remove typedef in enum cvmx_pow_wait_t" Revert "staging: octeon: remove typedef in struct cvmx_pko_lock_t" Revert "staging: octeon: remove typedef in enum cvmx_pko_status_t" Revert "staging: octeon: remove typedef in structs cvmx_pip_port_status_t and cvmx_pko_port_status_t" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from variable name "byRxRate" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from function name "CARDbUpdateTSF" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from function name "CARDvSetRSPINF" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from function name "CARDbyGetPktType" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from variable name "byPacketType" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from function name "CARDbSetPhyParameter" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from variable name "pbyRsvTime" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from variable name "pbyTxRate" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from function name "s_vCalculateOFDMRParameter" staging: vt6655: Type encoding info dropped from array name "cwRXBCNTSFOff" staging: fbtft: Convert to platform remove callback returning void staging: olpc_dcon: Remove I2C_CLASS_DDC support staging: vc04_services: use snprintf instead of sprintf staging: rtl8192e: Fix line break issue at priv->rx_buf[priv->rx_idx] ...

-When the module parameter qlge_force_coredump is set to be true, the MPI
-RISC reset before coredumping. So coredumping will much longer since
-devlink tool has to wait for 5 secs for the resetting to be
-finished.
