Subject: Future of the Wimedia LLC Protocol (WLP) subsystem/drivers

Message-ID: <4CBDC7B7.5070108@csr.com> (raw)
Hi,
I've have been nominally the maintainer of the Wimedia LLC Protocol
(WLP) subsystem and driver since it was originally submitted. I am no
longer in a position to even pretend to be a maintainer.
The only usable hardware was an Intel i1480 devices with beta firmware
that was never released as a product. Intel have since sold all there
UWB/WLP IP and I see little prospect of there ever being hardware
commercially available for WLP.
Here are a number of options:
1. Someone else maintains it. Any volunteers?
2. It gets labelled as Orphaned in MAINTAINERS.
3. It gets moved to staging.
4, It gets removed.
If no one says anything I'll submit a patch to Linus to mark it as Orphaned.
David
