# \[PATCH 0/2\] Input: remove obsolete yealink USB phone driver - From: Dmitry Torokhov \ - Date: 2026-11-11 21:57:30 - List: linuxppc-dev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linuxppc-dev/2026/11/17917641 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-input/2026/11/17917641/t.md ```text 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.
