Subject: [PATCH] misc: hisi_hikey_usb: remove untested role-switch driver
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 23:45:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729154523.1116-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728065558.1532-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn>
During review of a lifetime fix for this driver, it turned out that the
role-switch path has no upstream DT binding or in-tree user and has not
been tested in years.
Rather than keep carrying and fixing an effectively unused board-specific
driver, remove it. If this functionality is needed again later, it can be
reintroduced in drivers/phy/, where USB role-switch support lives today.
