2020-09-10media: usbvision: remove deprecated driverHans Verkuil
To quote the TODO of this driver: -------------------------------------------------------------- The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end of 2020. In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to be taken: - clean up the code - convert to the vb2 framework - fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code to use that correctly). -------------------------------------------------------------- Nobody picked this up, so it's time to retire this driver.

2020-03-02media: usbvision: deprecate driverHans Verkuil
The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end of 2020. The reason is that this driver is for old and obsolete hardware, and it produces a continuous stream of syzbot errors due to poor code. In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to be taken: - clean up the code - convert to the vb2 framework - fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code to use that correctly).
