Hi Alois,

I'm helping Greg do a bit of cleanup in the staging tree. I noticed that
nobody seems to have worked towards moving ced1401 out of staging in
over a year. Are there any plans to clean it up and move it out soon?
Because otherwise we're going to have to delete the driver, as we don't
want staging to become a permanent place for unfinished code.

Thanks,
Kristina



Hi Kristina,


thanks for the notice. Please, give me some time for checking here how
we want to go forward with this.

What do you mean by this?  You all have had a lot of time, with no real
progress at all?  How about we delete the driver and if you decide to
continue to work on it, we can revert that deletion and go from there?

thanks,

Hi,
I have a hundred patches for this driver ready to send.

Why have you not sent them previously?  What is preventing you to send
them?

Because it's only for a few weeks that I've been working on them.

They basically convert all "camelCase" and "Hungarian notation" names to
Linux convention and fix some checkpatch errors (no logic is modified).

Do you have this hardware to test the code with?  Do you want to work on
getting this driver merged out of the staging tree?

I used to have one CED1401, but unfortunately I don't have it any more.
Anyway if Alois (or someone else) can test the patches it would be
great. I can do a bit more work to get this driver out of staging.

As you don't have the hardware anymore, does it make much sense to keep
working on the driver?  I'd recommend just deleting it, if someone shows
up with the hardware later, we can always revert it.

Hi Greg,
I agree. Without hardware, it's very hard to go ahead.
I sent the patches in the hope that someone can test them.
But if no one is interested, I have no objection in removing the driver.
regards
Luca
