tipar: remove obsolete module 

tipar: remove obsolete module

The tipar character driver was used to implement bit-banging access
to Texas Instruments parallel link cable. A user-land method now 
exists thru PPDEV & PARPORT.

Parallel link cable for Texas Instruments handhelds
===================================================
Author: Romain Lievin
Homepage: http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tidev/index.html
INTRODUCTION:
This is a driver for the very common home-made parallel link cable, a cable
designed for connecting TI8x/9x graphing calculators (handhelds) to a computer
or workstation (Alpha, Sparc). Given that driver is built on parport, the
parallel port abstraction layer, this driver is architecture-independent.
It can also be used with another device plugged on the same port (such as a
ZIP drive). I have a 100MB ZIP and both of them work fine!
If you need more information, please visit the 'TI drivers' homepage at the URL
above.
WHAT YOU NEED:
A TI calculator and a program capable of communicating with your calculator.
TiLP will work for sure (since I am its developer!). yal92 may be able to use
it by changing tidev for tipar (may require some hacking...).
HOW TO USE IT:
You must have first compiled parport support (CONFIG_PARPORT_DEV): either
compiled in your kernel, either as a module.
Next, (as root):
modprobe parport
modprobe tipar
If it is not already there (it usually is), create the device:
mknod /dev/tipar0 c 115 0
mknod /dev/tipar1 c 115 1
mknod /dev/tipar2 c 115 2
You will have to set permissions on this device to allow you to read/write
from it:
chmod 666 /dev/tipar[0..2]
Now you are ready to run a linking program such as TiLP. Be sure to configure
it properly (RTFM).
MODULE PARAMETERS:
You can set these with: modprobe tipar NAME=VALUE
There is currently no way to set these on a per-cable basis.
NAME: timeout
TYPE: integer
DEFAULT: 15
DESC: Timeout value in tenth of seconds. If no data is available once this
time has expired then the driver will return with a timeout error.
NAME: delay
TYPE: integer
DEFAULT: 10
DESC: Inter-bit delay in micro-seconds. A lower value gives an higher data
rate but makes transmission less reliable.
These parameters can be changed at run time by any program via ioctl(2) calls
as listed in ./include/linux/ticable.h.
Rather than write 50 pages describing the ioctl() and so on, it is
perhaps more useful you look at ticables library (dev_link.c) that demonstrates
how to use them, and demonstrates the features of the driver. This is
probably a lot more useful to people interested in writing applications
that will be using this driver.
QUIRKS/BUGS:
None.
HOW TO CONTACT US:
You can email me at roms@lpg.ticalc.org. Please prefix the subject line
with "TIPAR: " so that I am certain to notice your message.
You can also mail JB at jb@jblache.org. He packaged these drivers for Debian.
CREDITS:
The code is based on tidev.c & parport.c.
The driver has been developed independently of Texas Instruments.

tristate "Texas Instruments parallel link cable support"
depends on PARPORT
---help---
If you own a Texas Instruments graphing calculator and use a
parallel link cable, then you might be interested in this driver.
If you enable this driver, you will be able to communicate with
your calculator through a set of device nodes under /dev. The
main advantage of this driver is that you don't have to be root
to use this precise link cable (depending on the permissions on
the device nodes, though).
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called tipar.
If you don't know what a parallel link cable is or what a Texas
Instruments graphing calculator is, then you probably don't need this
driver.
If unsure, say N.

/* This driver should, in theory, work with any parallel port that has an
* appropriate low-level driver; all I/O is done through the parport
* abstraction layer.
*
* If this driver is built into the kernel, you can configure it using the
* kernel command-line. For example:
*
* tipar=timeout,delay (set timeout and delay)
*
* If the driver is loaded as a module, similar functionality is available
* using module parameters. The equivalent of the above commands would be:
*
* # insmod tipar timeout=15 delay=10
*/
/* COMPATIBILITY WITH OLD KERNELS
*
* Usually, parallel cables were bound to ports at
* particular I/O addresses, as follows:
*
* tipar0 0x378
* tipar1 0x278
* tipar2 0x3bc
*
*
* This driver, by default, binds tipar devices according to parport and
* the minor number.
