This series removes the Sun Cassini, LDOM vswitch and sunvnet drivers. In a recent patch series that touched these drivers [1], it was suggested that these drivers should be removed completely. git logs suggest that there hasn't been any significant feature addition, improvement or fixes to user-visible bugs in a while. A web search didn't indicate any recent discussions or any evidence that there are users out there who care about these drivers. The idea behind putting out this series is to either establish that these drivers are used and should be maintained, or remove them. While the bulk of the code removal is in the networking s, and so multiple subsystem lists are cc'd. Here's a quick breakdown: - patches 1/7 and 5/7 remove the drivers (netdev) - patch 2/7 removes Sun device IDs from pci_ids.h (linux-pci) - patch 3/7 changes ppc6xx_defconfig (linuxppc) - patch 4/7 changes MIPS mtx1_defconfig (linux-mips) - patch 6/7 removes the event tracing header sunvnet.h (linux-trace) - patch 7/7 changes sparc64_defconfig (sparclinux) This series was compile tested as follows: make O=b1 ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux-gnu- defconfig make -j$(nproc) O=b1 ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux-gnu- all make O=b2 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux-gnu- defconfig make -j$(nproc) O=b2 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux-gnu- all make O=b3 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc64-linux-gnu- ppc6xx_defconfig make -j$(nproc) O=b3 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc64-linux-gnu- all [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/99629223-ac1b-0f82-50b8-ea307b3b0197@xxxxxxxxx/T/#t Suggested-by: Leon Romanovsky <leon@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Anirudh Venkataramanan <anirudh.venkataramanan@xxxxxxxxx> Anirudh Venkataramanan (7): ethernet: Remove the Sun Cassini driver PCI: Remove PCI IDs used by the Sun Cassini driver powerpc: configs: Remove reference to CONFIG_CASSINI mips: configs: Remove reference to CONFIG_CASSINI ethernet: Remove the Sun LDOM vswitch and sunvnet drivers sunvnet: Remove event tracing file sparc: configs: Remove references to CONFIG_SUNVNET and CONFIG_LDMVSW arch/mips/configs/mtx1_defconfig | 1 - arch/powerpc/configs/ppc6xx_defconfig | 1 - arch/sparc/configs/sparc64_defconfig | 2 - drivers/net/ethernet/sun/Kconfig | 35 - drivers/net/ethernet/sun/Makefile | 4 - drivers/net/ethernet/sun/cassini.c | 5215 --------------------- drivers/net/ethernet/sun/cassini.h | 2900 ------------ drivers/net/ethernet/sun/ldmvsw.c | 476 -- drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunvnet.c | 567 --- drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunvnet_common.c | 1813 ------- drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunvnet_common.h | 157 - include/linux/pci_ids.h | 2 - include/trace/events/sunvnet.h | 140 - 13 files changed, 11313 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/sun/cassini.c delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/sun/cassini.h delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/sun/ldmvsw.c delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunvnet.c delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunvnet_common.c delete mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunvnet_common.h delete mode 100644 include/trace/events/sunvnet.h base-commit: 6bd4755c7c499dbcef46eaaeafa1a319da583b29 -- 2.37.2
