Merge tag 'staging-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1.
There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the
drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full
development history that went back a few years, in order to preserve
the work that those developers did over time.
Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to
the Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing
up for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we
deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently
marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers.
Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added,
about 10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very
long shortlog below.
All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will
be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all
minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen
(MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree)"
And furter from me asking for clarification about greybus:
"Right now there is a phone from Motorola shipping with this code (a
slightly older version, but the same tree), so even though Ara is not
alive in the same form, the functionality is happening. We are working
with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with
their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of
their phone product line.
Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that
needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that
there might be more in the future.
There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk
next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network
connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the
protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards.
I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host
controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are
very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a
random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device
be attached to a host without needing manual configuration.
So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it
will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the
future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone
project happens to be"
