Does this mean we can kill the kernel scif code as well? It is a pretty horrible codebase that gets in the way a lot (and hasn't really seen updates since the initial merge). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

These drivers have been upstream since 2015 and we are not sure who is using them. Our preference will be to keep these drivers in the kernel for now.
