[PATCH v4 67/78] ncr5380: Cleanup comments

From: Finn Thain
Date: Sun Jan 03 2016 - 00:23:23 EST


The CVS revision log is not nearly as useful as the history/history.git
repo, so remove it. Roman's commentary at the top of his driver repeats
the same information elsewhere in the file so remove it. Also remove
some other redundant or obsolete comments.

Both the driver and the datasheets confusingly refer to a DMA access
for a SCSI WRITE command as a "DMA write". Similarly a SCSI READ command
is called a "DMA read". This is the opposite of the usual convention.
Thankfully, the chip documentation and driver code also use "DMA send" and
"DMA receive", so adopt this terminology.

This removes some unimportant discrepancies between the two core driver
forks so that 'diff' can be used to reveal the important ones, to
facilitate reunification.

Changes since v3:
- Removed another pointless comment. Duplicating the text of the SCSI
standard isn't useful.

- * ++roman: To port the 5380 driver to the Atari, I had to do some changes in
- * this file, too:
- *
- * - Some of the debug statements were incorrect (undefined variables and the
- * like). I fixed that.
- *
- * - In information_transfer(), I think a #ifdef was wrong. Looking at the
- * possible DMA transfer size should also happen for REAL_DMA. I added this
- * in the #if statement.
- *
- * - When using real DMA, information_transfer() should return in a DATAOUT
- * phase after starting the DMA. It has nothing more to do.
- *
- * - The interrupt service routine should run main after end of DMA, too (not
- * only after RESELECTION interrupts). Additionally, it should _not_ test
- * for more interrupts after running main, since a DMA process may have
- * been started and interrupts are turned on now. The new int could happen
- * inside the execution of NCR5380_intr(), leading to recursive
- * calls.
- *
- * - I've added a function merge_contiguous_buffers() that tries to
- * merge scatter-gather buffers that are located at contiguous
- * physical addresses and can be processed with the same DMA setup.
- * Since most scatter-gather operations work on a page (4K) of
- * 4 buffers (1K), in more than 90% of all cases three interrupts and
- * DMA setup actions are saved.
- *
- * - I've deleted all the stuff for AUTOPROBE_IRQ, REAL_DMA_POLL, PSEUDO_DMA
- * and USLEEP, because these were messing up readability and will never be
- * needed for Atari SCSI.
- *
- * - I've revised the NCR5380_main() calling scheme (relax the 'main_running'
- * stuff), and 'main' is executed in a bottom half if awoken by an
- * interrupt.
- *
- * - The code was quite cluttered up by "#if (NDEBUG & NDEBUG_*) printk..."
- * constructs. In my eyes, this made the source rather unreadable, so I
- * finally replaced that by the *_PRINTK() macros.
