Subject: Re: [PATCH] gpio: Allow user to customise maximum number of GPIOs

Thanks davide for the good explanation
(and the link the the old email I forgot about)

> tl;dr: sta2x11 support can be removed.

Confirmed.

The point here is that we talked with the vendor. They are still using
the device (with some extra internal patches), but new development at
kernel level is stopped.

Since the device is not currently available to the general public,
it's ok to save the maintaining efforts.

I can submit patch[es] next week or ack removal if somebody submits
them earlier.

thanks
