2013-04-19staging: net: remove pc300 driverDaniel Borkmann
To quote the TODO from staging/net/: PC300: The driver is very broken and cannot work with the current TTY layer. It is inevitable to convert it to the new TTY API. If no one steps in to adopt the driver, it will be removed in the 3.7 release. Nothing has changed since more than _one_ year on this driver, thus just remove it since we already moved past 3.7. If somebody steps up and does a whole rework, he/she, of course, is free to resubmit it. Since this is the only one in the net directory, we can remove it as well.

2012-04-13NET: pc300, move to staging as it is brokenJiri Slaby
It was marked as BROKEN back in 2008. It is because the tty handling in the driver is really broken. There was some activity in January 2012 to fix the driver, but the patch was commented to be bogus: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/29/160 and we have not heard back from the author since then: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/28/412 So since nobody stepped in and rewrote the driver, it is time to move it out of line now. And drop it some time later if nobody comes up with patches to fix the driver in staging. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Acked-by: David S.
