was perusing the UAPI content in the kernel source, prepping for a course i'm teaching tomorrow, and just noticed there is a header file: $ find . -name mtd-user.h ./include/uapi/mtd/mtd-user.h $ which appears to be *entirely* unreferenced in the entire kernel code base (outside of the Kbuild file that refers to it): $ grep -r 'mtd-user.h' * include/uapi/mtd/Kbuild:header-y += mtd-user.h $
Someone has a patch to remove msr-index.h which, in a similar way, only ended up being exported because of a Kbuild rule. So I'd imagine this file would be a candidate for a similar patch. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/228. -- Jim
