Removing ADS1015 driver from hwmon subsystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

there are currently two drivers for ADS1015 in the linux kernel:

drivers/iio/adc/ti-ads1015.c
drivers/hwmon/ads1015.c

The driver in the iio subsystem provides more flexible support for
the chip's capabilities. Even if the hwmon driver is removed,
the iio->hwmon bridge can still be used and would provide the same
information as before to the user. Existing devicetree entries
for ads1015 both point to the iio driver. The platform include file
is only included by the drivers, but not from any platform code.

With that in mind, keeping the hwmon driver around does not really
add value. I suggest to remove it. Are there any objections or
concerns ?

Thanks,
Guenter
