Subject: gma500: remove annoying deprecation warning
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 166c5a6ef765653848161e6f4af81c05e4b3ecf6 upstream.
In commit e45708976aea ("drm/dp-helper: Move the legacy helpers to
gma500") the legacy i2c helpers were moved to the only remaining user of
them, the gma500 driver. Together with that move, i2c_dp_aux_add_bus()
was marked deprecated and started warning about its remaining use.
It's now been a year and a half of annoying warning, and apparently
nobody cares enough about gma500 to try to move it along to the more
modern models.
Get rid of the warning - if even the gma500 people don't care enough,
then they should certainly not spam other innocent developers with a
warning that might hide other, much more real issues.
