Drop ROHM BD70528 support Unfortunately there has not been a big demand for ROHM BD70528 IC. The few users I know control PMIC from separate M4-core, which is not running Linux. I am not aware of any users of this Linux driver. While I did really like this IC and writing the drivers for it, seems like these drivers are becoming useless burden. So, I see no point in maintaining them. Let's just drop the drivers if there is no objections to this series. :( Few notes: The GPIO, regulator, power-supply and watchdog drivers should be only used on BD70528 and depend on the BD70528 MFD Kconfig. I guess the removal can be independently merged to the respective subsystems. The BD70528 RTC driver is still used by BD71815 and BD71828 - but the watchdog-hack can be removed and driver is greatly simplified. However, it's worth noting that there is dependency from the BD70528 RTC driver to the header files - thus the RTC driver changes should be merged before MFD changes. Also the CLK driver remains in use and needs the BD70528 IC-type. As a final note - Few improvements/fixes were just applied to the regulator tree so this series is likely to conflict. Some fixes were also added to RTC Kconfig - which means also the RTC tree may have conflicts. Please let me know if you wish me to rebase this series or those patches. --- Matti Vaittinen (9): dt-bindings: mfd: regulator: Drop BD70528 support rtc: bd70528: Drop BD70528 support watchdog: bd70528 drop bd70528 support regulator: bd70528: Drop BD70528 support clk: bd718xx: Drop BD70528 support gpio: bd70528 Drop BD70528 support power: supply: Drop BD70528 support mfd: bd70528: Drop BD70528 support MAINTAINERS: bd70528: Drop ROHM BD70528 drivers .../bindings/mfd/rohm,bd70528-pmic.txt | 102 --- .../regulator/rohm,bd70528-regulator.txt | 68 -- MAINTAINERS | 8 - drivers/clk/Kconfig | 6 +- drivers/clk/clk-bd718x7.c | 11 +- drivers/gpio/Kconfig | 11 - drivers/gpio/Makefile | 1 - drivers/gpio/gpio-bd70528.c | 230 ------ drivers/mfd/Kconfig | 17 - drivers/mfd/Makefile | 1 - drivers/mfd/rohm-bd70528.c | 314 -------- drivers/power/supply/Kconfig | 9 - drivers/power/supply/Makefile | 1 - drivers/power/supply/bd70528-charger.c | 710 ------------------ drivers/regulator/Kconfig | 11 - drivers/regulator/Makefile | 1 - drivers/regulator/bd70528-regulator.c | 283 ------- drivers/rtc/Kconfig | 4 +- drivers/rtc/rtc-bd70528.c | 316 +------- drivers/watchdog/Kconfig | 12 - drivers/watchdog/Makefile | 1 - drivers/watchdog/bd70528_wdt.c | 291 ------- include/linux/mfd/rohm-bd70528.h | 391 ---------- include/linux/mfd/rohm-generic.h | 1 - 24 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 2782 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/rohm,bd70528-pmic.txt delete mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/rohm,bd70528-regulator.txt delete mode 100644 drivers/gpio/gpio-bd70528.c delete mode 100644 drivers/mfd/rohm-bd70528.c delete mode 100644 drivers/power/supply/bd70528-charger.c delete mode 100644 drivers/regulator/bd70528-regulator.c delete mode 100644 drivers/watchdog/bd70528_wdt.c delete mode 100644 include/linux/mfd/rohm-bd70528.h base-commit: c4681547bcce777daf576925a966ffa824edd09d -- 2.25.4 -- Matti Vaittinen, Linux device drivers ROHM Semiconductors, Finland SWDC Kiviharjunlenkki 1E 90220 OULU FINLAND ~~~ "I don't think so," said Rene Descartes.
