Subject: [PATCH v1] staging: modernize GD-ROM driver for SEGA Dreamcast

Hi all,
This is a modernization of the old GD-ROM driver for SEGA Dreamcast.

Changes:
- Updated DMA handling and memory access registers
- Improved block layer and IRQ handling
- Preserved original comments and structure
- Prepared for staging as experimental

Hardware testing on a Dreamcast system has not been performed, as I don't have a Dreamcast system.


The driver is hosted on GitHub for review:

https://github.com/veliqq/linux/tree/gdrom-modernize-veliqq

Changes are in drivers/staging/cdrom and the file created is gdrom.c
