From cf8e9086de5daf14dbf0be9efef7d2793f256693 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Salomon Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 17:00:12 -0800 Subject: cs5535: deprecate older cs5535_gpio driver The newer drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c replaces drivers/misc/cs5535_gpio.c. The new driver has been in the tree for a little while, and has received some testing; it's time to mark the old one as deprecated. I'm thinking removal around 2.6.40 would be good, provided we're not missing critical functionality in the newer driver.
