staging: vt6655: Remove unused driver

2024-10-11T04:35:44Z

Forest Bond contributed this driver in 2009. The following reasons lead to the removal: - This driver generates maintenance workload - This driver has a maximum 54MBit/s as it supports only 802.11 b/g. Peak throughput is 3MBytes/s but this lasts only for a second. Typically throughput is 1.7MBytes/s. - Depending on the number of devices on the channel the device looses connection and cannot reconnect for 5-60 seconds. Watching a youtube video is OK because of the buffer. But surfing can then be really a pain. - Its form factor is mini PCI (not miniPCIe) that is old and large. - Hardly not to buy.

Replace camelcase variable "uCurrRSSI" (current Received Signal Strength Indicator) into linux kernel coding style equivalent variable "current_rssi". Signed-off-by: Alberto Merciai Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211127100807.3113388-1-alb3rt0.m3rciai@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: vt6655: remove filename from dpc.c

This patch resolves checkpatch's warning, "It's generally not useful to have the filename in the file" for dpc.c. Signed-off-by: Lucas Henneman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210723144340.15787-9-lucas.henneman@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: vt6655: remove some redundant variables

2018-07-11T12:47:08Z

Variables rx_sts, sq, frame and is_pspoll are being assigned but are never used hence they are redundant and can be removed. Cleans up clang warnings: warning: variable 'sq' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] warning: variable 'rx_sts' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] warning: variable 'frame' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] warning: variable 'is_pspoll' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: vt6655: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-28T12:20:47Z

Now that the SPDX tag is in all vt6655 files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

staging: vt6655: add SPDX identifiers to all vt6655 driver files

2017-11-28T12:20:47Z

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the vt6655 driver files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

staging: vt6655: Removes the FSF mailing address.

2016-10-16T08:26:28Z

This patch fixes the checkpatch issue by removing the Free Software Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice. Because the FSF has changed address in the past, and may change again. Linux already includes a copy of the GPL. Signed-off-by: Varsha Rao Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: vt6655: replace typedef struct tagSRxDesc

2015-09-13T01:24:26Z

with struct vnt_rx_desc and all members the same. volatile is removed from pointers as this generates warning message. Only the first four members of vnt_rx_desc need to be volatile. Signed-off-by: Malcolm Priestley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
