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Moreover pn544 is outdated and not maintained.

@@ -531,3 +531,15 @@ Why: There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall,
of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
removed.

+----------------------------
+
+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 Moreover, pn544.c is outdated and does not seem to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.
