char: broadcom: Add vcio module
Add module for accessing the mailbox property channel through /dev/vcio. Was previously in bcm2708-vcio. Signed-off-by:Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> char: vcio: Add compat ioctl handling There was no compat ioctl handler, so 32 bit userspace on a 64 bit kernel failed as IOCTL_MBOX_PROPERTY used the size of char*.

Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@raspberrypi.org> char: vcio: Fail probe if rpi_firmware is not found. Device Tree is now the only supported config mechanism, therefore uncomment the block of code that fails the probe if the firmware node can't be found. Signed-off-by:
Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@raspberrypi.org> drivers: char: vcio: Use common compat header The definition of compat_ptr is now common for most platforms, but requires the inclusion of <linux/compat.h>. Signed-off-by:
Phil Elwell <phil@raspberrypi.com> char: vcio: Rewrite as a firmware node child The old vcio driver is a simple character device that manually locates the firmware driver. Initialising it before the firmware driver causes a failure, and no retries are attempted. Rewrite vcio as a platform driver that depends on a DT node for its instantiation and the location of the firmware driver, making use of the miscdevice framework to reduce the code size. N.B. Using miscdevice changes the udev SUBSYSTEM string, so a change to the companion udev rule is required in order to continue to set the correct device permissions, e.g.: KERNEL="vcio", GROUP="video", MODE="0660" See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4620 Signed-off-by:
