The IIO driver maintainer/developers are talking about that currently, I think they have a plan for those other drivers. > Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Some of the drivers are under consideration for removal (particularly most of the meter drivers) but it is unconnected to the blackfin removal. They are simply other obsolete parts that we don't have test hardware for and need sufficient 'surgery' that we wouldn't feel comfortable cleaning them up without. One has been reprieved as a user, who was happy to test, came forward when I announced the intent to remove them. > > > Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> > > Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Acked-by: Jonathan Cameron <jonathan.cameron@huawei.com> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The blackfin architecture is getting removed, so the timer trigger driver is now obsolete. Since this is the last remaining iio trigger driver in staging, I'm removing the entire directory. I'm not sure about the other staging iio drivers though: almost all of them are for Analog Devices devices like this one. They are likely used along with blackfin SoCs, but could easily be used on any others as well. It might be time to consider whether they should be removed, but it doesn't feel like a decision that I should be making.
