[RFC] staging: gdm724x: Proposal to delete drivers gdmtty and gdmulte

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

 



Dear Sirs,

Won Kang from gct contributed the driver gdm724x to the Linux kernel staging subsystem in 2013.

The following points let me propose to delete the driver:
- This driver generates maintenance workload (for example  CVE)
- The manufacturer is not interested and does not care as Emails or inquiries, to support or involved persons of gct, got unanswered.
- Did not find a possibility to buy the chips.
- Did not find minimal documentation on the web.
- Did not find a device where it is build in and the user is able to install any Linux. Therefore it is not possible to do any testing of the driver from the community.
- No blog entries about anyone using the gdmtty and gdmulte.
- No response about usage of this drivers to the Email from April 2024

Thanks for any response about your thoughts.

Bye Philipp
