This driver was copied from the io_edgeport.c driver, so we need to put
the proper copyright information back on it.

Also, almost all of the function comments are directly from the original
io_edgeport driver, and most of them are either totally wrong now due to
changes, or redundant.  So delete them all so no one gets confused by
anything.

This patch adds a new driver called stlc45xx, which supports wi-fi chipsets
stlc4550 and stlc4560 from ST-NXP Wireless. The chipset can be found, for
example, from Nokia N800 and N810 products.

The driver is implemented based on the firmware interface information
published by ST-NXP Wireless here:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/specs#STMicroelectronicshardware

Currently only SPI interface is supported.

36ec4ab8c4 Staging: pohmelfs: fix kconfig dependencies
pohmelfs wants to use CONNECTOR, so it selects CONNECTOR,
but when CONFIG_NET is not enabled, connector.c will not build,
since select does not follow the dependency chain.
Selecting NET is not a good idea, since that would build lots
of code that someone seemingly didn't want to build/store
and kconfig shouldn't do that behind someone's back.

pohmelfs should depend on NET since it uses network interfaces.

pohmelfs also uses CRYTPO and selects 2 cipher symbols, but
it should also select the top-level CRYPTO symbol since
kconfig dependency chains are not followed.
(found by inspection)
This allows the POHMELFS_CRYPTO option to depend only on
POHMELFS and makes the kconfig menu align properly.

Also fix minor typos & line lengths in kconfig help text.
Drop CONFIG_* in kconfig symbols in Kconfig file.

c09ee9d206 Staging: pohmelfs: transaction layer.
This patch implements transaction processing helpers
used to allocate/free/insert/remove and other operations
with the transctions.

Each transction is an object, which may embed multiple commands
completed atomically. When server fails the whole transaction will be
replied against it (or different server) later. This approach allows to
maintain high data integrity and do not desynchronize filesystem state
in case of network or server failures.

d35eef1b42 Staging: pohmelfs: network operations.
This is a main network processing patch. It includes
both low-level socket machinery, zero-copy sending helpers,
receiving and parsing callbacks and mainly logical
commands handlers.

POHMELFS uses async network approach, when every command
can be separated from its answer and received after some
time after the request during which another lots of commands
can be injected into the network and replies to them received.

With read operation balancing between multiple hosts it is possible
that operations will arrive out of order and this is handled
by the transaction mechanism described partially here.

Having a transaction to guard the set of logically compound operations
allows to send data without thinking about its status and using
zero-copy sending mechanism, since transaction will receive explicit
acks from the servers when they are completed.

This patch also contains header with network srtuctures, commands
and short comments on how they are used.

ac7036c131 Staging: pohmelfs: distributed locking and cache coherency protocol.
POHMELFS utilizes writeback cache, which is built on top of MO(E)SI-like
coherency protocol. This patch includes its implementation and cache
object processing helpers (like allocation and completion callbacks).

POHMELFS uses scalable cached read/write locking. No additional requests
are performed if lock is granted to the filesystem. The same protocol
is used by the server to on-demand flushing of the client's cache (for
example when server wants to update local data).

b3f08cad3d Staging: pohmelfs: inode operations.
This is the main patch which implements inode operations
(like reading and writing) and superblock processing
(filesystem registration, initial autoconfiguration
with the server like permissions, size of the exported
dir, amount of the objects created and so on).

POHMELFS relies on system's writeback cache mechanism
shown here, as long as cache coherency protocol described
later.

e3eec94dc9 Staging: pohmelfs: directory operations.
This patch implementes all supported directory operations
like directory reading, object lookup, creation, removal
and so on.

Currently object removal is not optimized at all.
