From e5f45b011e4a86d62fb3d9d9a634ec30a3027649 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Fabio M. De Francesco" Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 12:32:17 +0200 Subject: staging: Remove the drivers for the Unisys s-Par The Unisys sub-tree of drivers/staging contains three drivers for the "Unisys Secure Partition" (s-Par(R)): visorhba, visorinput, visornic. They have no maintainers, in fact the only one that is listed in MAINTAINERS has an unreacheable email address. During 2021 and 2022 several patches have been submitted to these drivers but nobody at Unisys cared of reviewing the changes. Probably, also the "sparmaintainer" internal list of unisys.com is not anymore read by interested Unisys' engineers. Therefore, remove the drivers/staging/unisys directory and delete the relevant entries in the MAINTAINERS, Kconfig, Makefile files, then remove also the drivers/visorbus directory which is not anymore needed (it contained the driver for the virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par firmware).
