#1498402 — [PATCH] char/pcmcia: add scr24x_cs chip card interface driver

FromLubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>
Date2016-10-10 18:10 +0200
Subject[PATCH] char/pcmcia: add scr24x_cs chip card interface driver
Message-ID<sqLjj-3lF-17@gated-at.bofh.it>
This implements only the very basic protocol "Mode A", just to make the
device functional. Patches to implement "Mode C" that uses better bulking
and is interrupt-driver may follow.

The device essentially speaks the same protocol as USB CCID devices do over
the bulk endpoints. The driver exchanges the command submissions and
responses over a plain read()/write() interface, compatible with legacy
OpenCT's pcmcia_block driver.

Patches for the newer CCID driver are available:

global variable?  And why do you need a char device for this type of
hardware?  Isn't there already an existing interface for this device
class?

No locking?

It looks like this is modeled after the other two chip card drivers
in drivers/char/pcmcia/, which are also char devices. Looking at
https://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html, it seems that other
drivers for this protocol are typically in user space when they are
for USB devices, so apparently no existing subsystem abstraction
in the kernel.

This reminds me that there is just one other driver in drivers/char/pcmcia
(synclink_cs), and that should be moved to drivers/tty/ with the other
synclink variants. If we do this, we could rename drivers/char/pcmcia
to something that implies "smartcard".
