Subject: Driver graveyard
Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 07:18:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220502071818.5101c752@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi!
Thomas suggested that it may be nice to create some form of a record
for drivers which were retired from the tree. I think a code-centric
equivalent of CREDITS could be a good idea.
Does such a record already exist somewhere? If not any thoughts on
creating a file storing (Kconfig, short description, commit which
removed the driver)? E.g.
K: DMASCC
D: Hamradio high-speed (DMA) SCC driver for AX.25. Driver supported
D: Ottawa PI/PI2, Paccomm/Gracilis D: PackeTwin, and S5SCC/DMA boards.
C: 865e2eb08f51
I have no idea how to name such a file.
