Sven Van Asbroeck contributed this driver in 2019. The following reasons lead to the removal: - This driver generates maintenance workload - only 11 patches during the last 3 years. Part of the patches seem to be motivated because of maintenance (for example - remove deprecated function) - Maintainer lost interest, last "Reviewed-by:" is May 2021 - no blog about usage of this driver The staging subsystem is the way for drivers into the kernel - at current speed and interest this is never going to happen. I think that fieldbus is an interesting topic. But when almost nobody cares about this driver, it does not make sense to keep it. Please consider that support will remain for years in the longterm kernels.

This option allows you to select a number of drivers that are
|
|
not of the "normal" Linux kernel quality level. These drivers
|
|
are placed here in order to get a wider audience to make use of
|
|
them. Please note that these drivers are under heavy
|
|
development, may or may not work, and may contain userspace
|
|
interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Using any of these drivers will taint your kernel which might
|
|
affect support options from both the community, and various
|
|
commercial support organizations.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
|
|
to report problems you have with them, please see the
|
|
drivers/staging/<driver_name>/TODO file to see what needs to be
|
|
worked on, and who to contact.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N here.
