[PATCH V3 0/6] Destage gpib drivers

Dave Penkler
2025-11-13T10:45:47Z

This patch series is for moving the gpib drivers out of the staging area.

As many changes as possible (patches 1-5) are done in the staging area
to prepare for the move. Patch 6 does the move and completes the destage.

Patch 1: Remove gpib from Kconfig and Makefile in staging
Patch 2: Remove the gpib/uapi directory from include search path
Patch 3: In the code change the uapi include file paths to <linux/xxx.h>
Patch 4: Remove comment item in TODO file
Patch 5: Add SPDX syscall note to uapi gpib headers
Patch 6: Complete the destaging of gpib
- Move the common gpib/uapi headers to include/uapi/linux
- Move the gpib tree out of staging
- Delete the word Linux from gpib Kconfig option title
- Add gpib to Kconfig and Makefile in drivers
- Update MAINTAINERS

Dave Penkler (6):
staging: Remove gpib build from staging
staging: gpib: Remove gpib/uapi from search path
staging: gpib: Change file path for uapi headers
staging: gpib: Update TODO file
staging: gpib: Fix SPDX license for gpib headers
gpib: Destage gpib
