Commit commit 930ba4a374b96560ef9fde2145cdc454a164ddcc Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Wed Nov 27 09:32:49 2013 -0800 Staging: tidspbridge: disable driver There seems to be no active maintainer for the driver, and there is an unfixed security bug, so disable the driver for now. Hopefully someone steps up to be the maintainer, and works to get this out of staging, otherwise it will be deleted soon. Reported-by: Nico Golde Reported-by: Dan Carpenter so perhaps Nico Golde or Dan Carpenter can elaborate? I Cc-ed them now. Or is it some kind of super-secret issue and still under embargo for 10 days?
