Subject: [RFC] staging: rts5208: Proposal to delete driver rts5208
Dear Sirs,
Wei Wang from Realsil contributed this driver in 2011.
The following points let me propose to delete the driver:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- Did not find minimal documentation on the web.
- No blog entries about anyone using the rts5208 and rts5288 during the
last years.
- Did not find any device that may has it in and is still available on
the market: Dell Latitude 2120, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 130, Lenovo x121e
The staging subsystem needs to focus on drivers that support usable
hardware that is available. Newbies can then get the hardware for some
dollars and play around which is fun.
Please consider that support will remain for years in the longterm kernels.
Thanks for any response about your thoughts.
Bye Philipp
