Hi GregKH,
In looking around what I could do in the mid-future, possibly as a GSoC project (?), I have 2 questions:
Is there active ongoing work on getting rid of drivers/auxdisplay? There are 2 drivers left in there... If not, would that be desired?
I really do not know, do you have the hardware for those devices?
What is the status of fbtft? Moving drivers *in* to staging feels wrong, but fbtft isn't yet present in the main tree. I would guess that fbtft is where these auxdisplay drivers could go. Would you put them into another area? fbdev?
There's a thread in the archives somewhere that talks about moving fbtft into being a "real" drm driver. I suggest you look into that if you are curious.
Different topic: IIO: I have ideas for mma8452 driver additions, and along this way, additions to the iio sysfs ABI. Would it make sense to lay this out and make a project out of it?
That might be good, care to go into more details about this? thanks, greg k-h
