> The Yealink USB-P1K (0x6993:0xb001) is a mid-2000s USB 1.1 telephone
> handset with a segmented LCD, keypad, and ringer marketed as a
> "USB phone for Skype" and desktop VoIP/SIP softphones, where audio was
> handled by snd-usb-audio and the yealink driver drove the keypad,
> segmented LCD, and tones via custom sysfs attributes.
>
> Operating the handset required dedicated userspace bridge software such
> as usbb2k-api / kb2kskype (targeting the defunct legacy Skype desktop
> API and KDE3/Qt3) or yeaphone (an archived 2000s liblinphone wrapper).
> The entire userspace ecosystem has been unmaintained for over 15 years,
> the legacy Skype API it was built around is gone, and modern USB
> telephony devices rely on standard USB HID telephony usages instead of
> custom sysfs display drivers.
>
> The driver has had no functional changes, hardware testing, or new
> device IDs since 2008, while continuing to generate syzbot USB fuzzing
> reports and drive-by cleanup churn. Remove the driver, its
> documentation, Kconfig and Makefile entries, the MAINTAINERS section,
> and the HID ignore-list entry that only existed to prevent usbhid from
> binding ahead of yealink.
