From 955015bb0b42167d14f776ff5947ae2463a974dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "John W. Linville" Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:38:11 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] strip: move driver to staging Move the strip ("Starmode Radio IP") driver to drivers/staging. For several years this driver has only seen API "bombing-run" changes, and few people ever had the hardware. This driver represents unnecessary ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit. This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel Summit in Tokyo, Japan... Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: John W.
