Hi Greg, Sasha, all,
Prompted by https://bugs.debian.org/986949 it looks that files with
prolematic license are present in stable series in
drivers/staging/mt7621-mmc/ prior to 441bf7332d55 ("staging:
m57621-mmc: delete driver from the tree.") where those were removed in
5.2-rc1.
As the license text at it is presented is problematic at best, would
this removal make sense as well in the current other stable series
which contain it? The files goes back to it's addition in 4.17-rc1.
So it would remain v4.19.y where the files should/can be removed as
well from the staging area?
Regards,
Salvatore

Yeah, it is odd, and we probably should not continue to distribute new
updates with it in the tree.
As the commit does not backport cleanly, can you provide a working
backport that I can apply?
thanks,
