Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1. There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full development history that went back a few years, in order to preserve the work that those developers did over time. This was done the same way that btrfs was merged into the tree, so all should be ok there. Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to the Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing up for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers. Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added, about 10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very long shortlog below. All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen (MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree.)

We are working with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of their phone product line. Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that there might be more in the future. There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards. I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device be attached to a host without needing manual configuration. So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone project happens to be" * tag 'staging-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: (3703 commits) Staging: fbtft: Fix bug in fbtft-core staging: rtl8188eu: fix double unlock error in rtw_resume_process() staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_MLME_EXT_HANDLER macro staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_DRV_CMD_HANDLER macro staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_EVT_CODE macro staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_CMD_CODE macro staging:r8188eu: remove pkt_newalloc member of the recv_buf structure staging:r8188eu: remove rtw_handle_dualmac declaration staging:r8188eu: remove (RGTRY|BSSID)_(OFT|SZ) macros staging:r8188eu: change rtl8188e_process_phy_info function argument type Staging: fsl-mc: Remove blank lines Staging: fsl-mc: Fix unaligned * in block comments Staging: comedi: Align the * in block comments Staging : ks7010 : Fix block comments warninig Staging: vt6655: Remove explicit NULL comparison using Coccinelle staging: rtl8188eu: core: rtw_xmit: Use macros instead of constants staging: rtl8188eu: core: rtw_xmit: Move constant of the right side staging: dgnc: Fix lines longer than 80 characters Staging: dgnc: constify attribute_group structures Staging: most: hdm-dim2: constify attribute_group structures ... |
