A question about staging driver like pi433
Hi all, I have a question about staging driver. I'm a newbie kernel developer and I tried contributed some patches for staging drivers. In those staging drivers, I'm interested in pi433 and wrote some patches for it about 2 years ago. and then I tried to go deeper for that. I tried to buy pi433 device but I can't. It seems that no longer available. In this case, pi433 should be removed from source tree? If not, It's okay to send patches for it? Thanks, Sidong

Why would it be removed if people still use it?
If not, It's okay to send patches for it?
Please do! thanks, greg k-h

Yeah, I thought there is no user using this device. I realized that it was bad idea.
If not, It's okay to send patches for it?
Sure, Thanks! Sidong
Please do!

Is there no one using this? That's kind of hard to determine, and is a problem we have at times :( thanks, greg k-h

I contacted the hardware developer in personal. And He replied positive. I would get the pi433 device soon. It would be nice that It can be tested in practice. Thanks, Sidong
