Shared support code for the Texas Instruments TMS9914 GPIB (IEEE-488) controller chip, used inside the Linux GPIB subsystem. The TMS9914 was a common building block in lab instrumentation interface boards from the 1980s and 1990s that connected PCs to test equipment such as oscilloscopes and multimeters.
This is not actually a standalone driver; it is a helper library that exports common TMS9914 chip-handling routines for use by board-specific GPIB drivers elsewhere in the tree. It binds to no hardware on its own, so lifecycle decisions belong with the actual board drivers that link against it.

Not a driver directory: contains a shared TMS9914 GPIB support library exporting symbols for board-specific drivers, with no hardware-bus registration or standalone device binding.
