 GPIO Testing Driver
 ===================
 
+.. note::
+    Since kernel version 6.7, this method is being deprecated. Prefer using
+    Documentation/admin-guide/gpio/gpio-sim.rst instead for kernel versions
+    newer than 5.17, which is when gpio-sim was added.
+
 The GPIO Testing Driver (gpio-mockup) provides a way to create simulated GPIO
 chips for testing purposes. The lines exposed by these chips can be accessed
 using the standard GPIO character device interface as well as manipulated
