Subject: [PATCH 19/20] feature-removal: Remove pn544 raw driver
Date: Mon,  7 May 2012 12:31:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336386691-24840-20-git-send-email-sameo@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336386691-24840-1-git-send-email-sameo@linux.intel.com>

The pn544_hci driver uses the kernel NFC APIs while pn544 does not.
Moreover pn544 is outdated and not maintained.

 	of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be

+----------------------------
+
+What:	Removing the pn544 raw driver.
+When:	3.6
+Why:	With the introduction of the NFC HCI and SHDL kernel layers, pn544.c
+	is being replaced by pn544_hci.c which is accessible through the netlink
+	and socket NFC APIs. Moreover, pn544.c is outdated and does not seem to
+	work properly with the latest Android stacks.
+	Having 2 drivers for the same hardware is confusing and as such we
+	should only keep the one following the kernel NFC APIs.
