A new version of this driver has been merged into the wireless-testing tree

desirable to delete the staging version to avoid build errors in linux-next.

Greg,

This removal patch was generated after commit 368c75b98bdfdfad54e7f165016819ef344e3587.
It should apply to your tree unless further modifications have been made to
the staging driver.

Something is odd with this patch, it doesn't apply, even against that
commit id:
Applying: staging: r8821ae: Remove driver from staging
error: patch failed: drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/btcoexist/HalBtc8812a1Ant.c:1
error: drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/btcoexist/HalBtc8812a1Ant.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 staging: r8821ae: Remove driver from staging
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
    /home/gregkh/linux/work/staging/.git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

Can you refresh against the staging-next branch of staging.git and try it
again?  Or I can just delete it "by hand" which is fine with me, and might be
easier fro you, just let me know.

I was on the staging-next branch, but when I pulled after receiving this mail, I got a conflict due to some change in drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/pci.c. That one must have been in your local copy, but not yet pushed when I pulled.

If you don't mind doing the delete there, the traffic on the Cc sites will be reduced. I'm sure you know what is needed, but just in case, delete the files in drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/ and the Makefile and Kconfig entries in drivers/staging/.

Thanks,

Larry
