staging: rtl8188eu: remove rtl8188eu driver from staging dir

2021-08-01T06:10:42+00:00

This driver was deprecated with the introduction of the r8188eu driver, based upon Realtek sources that were modified for CFG80211 support and other fixes on GitHub by Larry Finger. As that driver is now progressing at pace, we should remove this one.

staging: r8188eu: attach newly imported driver to build system

2021-07-28T18:16:09+00:00

Modify Kconfig and Makefile to import new r8188eu driver into build system, and allow it to build alongside deprecated older driver, by tweaking build parameters and module name for the older driver at the same time.

staging: drop kpc2000 driver

2021-06-12T13:38:35+00:00

It seems that the old developer is no longer with the company producing this device, and the company has no plans on getting this out of the staging directory at all, so let's drop the driver for now as it's pretty much abandonded. If someone want to support this and get it out of staging, we can easily revert this change and bring it back.

staging: comedi: move out of staging directory

2021-04-15T07:26:25+00:00

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its lifetime to much much earlier. It's been polished and buffed and there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real" portion of the kernel. So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there. Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this happen.

staging: wimax: delete from the tree.

2021-03-20T12:40:33+00:00

As stated in f54ec58fee83 ("wimax: move out to staging"), the wimax code is dead with no known users. It has stayed in staging for 5 months, with no one willing to take up the codebase for maintance and support, so let's just remove it entirely for now. If someone comes along and wants to revive it, a simple revert of this patch is a good place to start. Cc: Jakub Kicinski Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: "David S.

staging: gasket: remove it from the kernel

2021-03-16T12:09:28+00:00

As none of the proposed things that need to be changed in the gasket drivers have ever been done, and there has not been any forward progress to get this out of staging, it seems totally abandonded so remove the code entirely so that people do not spend their time doing tiny cleanups for code that will never get out of staging. If this code is actually being used, it can be reverted simply and then cleaned up properly, but as it is abandoned, let's just get rid of it.

staging: dpaa2-switch: move the driver out of staging

2021-03-10T21:30:36+00:00

Now that the dpaa2-switch driver has basic I/O capabilities on the switch port net_devices and multiple bridging domains are supported, move the driver out of staging. The dpaa2-switch driver is placed right next to the dpaa2-eth driver since, in the near future, they will be sharing most of the data path. I didn't implement code reuse in this patch series because I wanted to keep it as small as possible. Also, the README is removed from staging with the intention to add proper rst documentation afterwards to actually match was is supported by the driver.
