Subject: Removing deprecated drivers from drivers/i2c/chips
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 23:22:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1252531371-14866-1-git-send-email-w.sang@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Hi,
continuing the quest to clean up and ultimately remove the drivers/i2c/chips
directory, this patch series removes three drivers for GPIO-expanders which are
obsoleted and marked as deprecated for more than a year. The newer (and better)
drivers can be found in drivers/gpio.
As it is ensured that the newer drivers cover the same i2c_device_ids, all
platform_devices will still match. Some defconfig updates may be necessary
though, but according to [1] this is left to the arch|platform-maintainers
(also as most defconfigs are quite outdated). For that reason, I put the
relevant arch-mailing-lists to Cc. Comments are welcome.
Regards,
Wolfram
