Subject: [RFC] staging: gdm724x: How to proceed with drivers gdmtty and
 gdmulte

Dear Sirs,

Won Kang contributed a driver gdm724x to the Linux kernel staging 
subsystem in 2013. Have you done any tests with this hardware in the 
years up to today?

struct usb_device_id lists the following devices the driver can work with:
PID_GDM7240		0x8000
PID_GDM7243		0x9000

but on http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids I can only find:
0x1076  GCT Semiconductor, Inc.
	0x0031  Bluetooth Device
	0x0032  Bluetooth Device
	0x8002  LU150 LTE Modem [Yota LU150]

I am asking because I tried to find a test device to test it. That is 
difficult in 2024.

Do you think the driver can be removed or should it stay in the mainline 
kernel?

Thanks for your response.

Regards,

Philipp Hortmann
