users have complained indicating there is no more need for these

boards. This should really be considered a last call.

What: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
|
||||
When: Febuary 2008
|
||||
Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
|
||||
Why: The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
|
||||
possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
|
||||
that operate as fast as the USB bus allows. Because of this, the USB
|
||||
subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
|
||||
register with it, after this grace period is over. If anyone needs
|
||||
any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
|
||||
userspace filesystems, please contact the
|
||||
linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
|
||||
there will be glad to help you out.
