Subject: [PATCH v2] Do not enable the v1 uAPI by default
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 00:07:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314-no-y-uapi1-default-v2-1-578f09c91b8f@kernel.org> (raw)
It's been five years since we introduced the v2 uAPI and
the major consumer libgpiod is at v2.2.3.
Let's discourage the old ABI.
Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on v7.0-rc1
- Do not explicitly state "default n", n is the default.
- Drop RFC, I waited like two years+
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231104-no-y-uapi1-default-v1-1-f60d318b6fbe@linaro.org
