This short series removes the obsolete yealink driver for the mid-2000s
Yealink USB-P1K (0x6993:0xb001) USB 1.1 Skype/VoIP telephone handset
and drops its module selection from ppc6xx_defconfig.
The hardware relied on dedicated userspace bridge utilities (such as
usbb2k-api / kb2kskype for the defunct legacy Skype desktop API, or
yeaphone for liblinphone) to drive its keypad, segmented LCD, and tones
through custom sysfs attributes. That userspace ecosystem has been
unmaintained for over 15 years, and the driver itself has seen no
functional updates, hardware testing, or new device IDs since 2008
while continuing to attract syzbot USB fuzzing reports and drive-by
cleanup patches.
Thanks.
