Input: tsdev - schedule removal
Compaq touchscreen emulation (drivers/input/tsdev.c) is old, was obsolete when it was written by the authors own admission and much better userspace solutions like tslib now exist. The name is also confusing. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Acked-by: James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

What: Compaq touchscreen device emulation

When: Oct 2007

|
Files: drivers/input/tsdev.c

||||||
|
Why: The code says it was obsolete when it was written in 2001.
|
||||||
|
tslib is a userspace library which does anything tsdev can do and
|
||||||
|
much more besides in userspace where this code belongs. There is no
|
||||||
|
longer any need for tsdev and applications should have converted to
|
||||||
|
use tslib by now.
|
||||||
|
The name "tsdev" is also extremely confusing and lots of people have
|
||||||
|
it loaded when they don't need/use it.
