hostap is an obsolete driver, it's waste of time doing style fixes to it as nobody maintains it anymore.Dunno know if Jouni is still maintaining this at all but maybe a MAINTAINERS update to mark it obsolete so checkpatch warns on unnecessary changes. --- MAINTAINERS | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 6e0a912c3b13..ff293e70fae6 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS@@ -5722,7 +5722,7 @@ M: Jouni Malinen L: hostap@shmoo.com (subscribers-only) L: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org W: http://hostap.epitest.fi/ -S: Maintained +S: Maintained / Obsolete F: drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/
I talked with Jouni and we concluded marking this fully obsolete is the best (so removing the "Maintained" part completely). Also the shmoo list is not used anymore, that can be removed. -- Kalle Valo
