vme: move back to stagingThe VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out ofstaging") 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 effectivelystopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups.No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-levelaccess, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the onlyremaining board.drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved todrivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only oneremaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remainingthree source files into this directory rather than keeping the originalhierarchy.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220606084109.4108188-3-arnd@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/staging/vme_user/Makefile

staging: vme: Move 'vme/devices/' to 'vme_user/'In ("Staging: VME: move VMEdrivers out of staging") the vme code, board and bridge drivers weremoved out of the staging tree, remaining only the VME user devicedriver.Since this driver is the only one remaining in staging, such multi-levelstructure confuses more than helps. The current structure is as follows: - drivers/staging/vme/ Makefile devices/ Kconfig Makefile vme_user.c vme_user.hThe top-level Makefile has the only function of calling another Makefileinto the devices/ subdirectory. This latter only compiles the vme_userdriver, since there is no other in the staging tree.This patch removes the unnecessary Makefile from the 'vme/' dir, movethe contents of 'vme/devices' into the 'vme/' dir, and renames it to'vme_user/' (the driver name), allowing a straightforward understandingof this driver's contents. Furthermore, it updates the MAINTAINERS fileto properly reflect the new paths.Signed-off-by: Bruno Moreira-Guedes Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2cd7de9a426c443a5ea618682d605ecfd751d798.1650544175.git.codeagain@codeagain.devSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/staging/vme_user/Makefile
