Alchemy driver sediments to be deleted?

Alchemy driver sediments to be deleted?

[Ralf Baechle]

So there are these two drivers

 b/drivers/char/au1000_gpio.c                                 |  262 +
 b/drivers/char/au1000_ts.c                                   |  677 +++

sitting in the lmo kernel tree since ages.  au1000_ts isn't even
wired up in the Makefile since years, so unless somebody yells "stop",
I'm going to kill it.

Also, is there anybody still interested in the au1000_gpio driver?

Hi Ralf,

You can safely remove the au1000_gpio file because au1000 will now use the 
generic GPIO implementation.

Instead of removing the touchscreen driver, I would move it to 
drivers/input/touchscreen for now. There is probably some work to do to make 
the ads7846 driver be usable with au1000.

As expected.

Drivers/input requires a rewrite of the driver for the input subsystem and
the old driver is broken and apparently unused.

So I'll remove both.
