The +main remaining use case would be to connect ISDN voice phones to an +in-house installation with Asterisk or LCR, but anyone trying this in +turn seems to be using either the mISDN driver stack, or out-of-tree +drivers from the hardware vendors. + +I may of course have missed something, so I would suggest moving +these into drivers/staging/ just in case someone still uses one +of the three remaining in-kernel drivers (avm, hysdn, gigaset). + +If nobody complains, we can remove them entirely in six months, +or otherwise move the core code and any drivers that are still +needed back into drivers/isdn. + + Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> |
