This is the promised resend of the removal of the genrtc driver and some related code, now that we are at a good time to merge this for the coming merge window.
Thanks a lot! I'm applying the series right now so it sits in linux-next for a while before the next merge window. I would still happily take any acks, Reviewed-by or Tested-by tags.
- CONFIG_EFI_RTC is actively used on all six Itanium configurations, though the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_EFI replacement driver is also available there (and has been Itanium-only until ARM64 support for EFI was merged). I suspect it's just a matter of getting an Ack from the Itanium maintainers to remove it and change the defconfigs.
I have that one on my radar. There was an impressive number of separate drivers for EFI and CMOS...
- the last remaining legacy RTC driver after those is CONFIG_DS1302, which has a slightly nonstandard ioctl interface and is only used on arch/m32r. I have experimented with this a bit and think it can be converted in a backward-compatible way as well.
That one has been converted to a standard SPI driver in v4.6. Following some discussion, driving it using gpios will be added. m32r will have to use one of those two interfaces. It is broken on that architecture for now but we never got any reply from maintainers. -- Alexandre Belloni, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
