Hi all,

I have a question about staging driver. I'm a newbie kernel developer
and I tried contributed some patches for staging drivers. In those
staging drivers, I'm interested in pi433 and wrote some patches for it
about 2 years ago. and then I tried to go deeper for that. I tried to
buy pi433 device but I can't. It seems that no longer available. 

In this case, pi433 should be removed from source tree?

Why would it be removed if people still use it?

Yeah, I thought there is no user using this device. I realized that it
was bad idea. 

Is there no one using this?  That's kind of hard to determine, and is
a problem we have at times :(

I contacted the hardware developer in personal. And He replied positive.
I would get the pi433 device soon. It would be nice that It can be
tested in practice.

Thanks,
Sidong

thanks,

greg k-h
