Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski: "Delete some obsolete networking code Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and noobs try to fix them. If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code. We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code behind us" * tag 'net-deletions' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: drivers: net: 8390: wd80x3: Remove this driver drivers: net: 8390: ultra: Remove this driver drivers: net: 8390: AX88190: Remove this driver drivers: net: fujitsu: fmvj18x: Remove this driver drivers: net: smsc: smc91c92: Remove this driver drivers: net: smsc: smc9194: Remove this driver drivers: net: amd: nmclan: Remove this driver drivers: net: amd: lance: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c589: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c574: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c515: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c509: Remove this driver net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir net: packetengines: remove obsolete hamachi driver net: remove unused ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem net: remove ISDN subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP caif: remove CAIF NETWORK LAYER

caif: remove CAIF NETWORK LAYER

2026-04-23T17:23:44+00:00

Remove CAIF (Communication CPU to Application CPU Interface), the ST-Ericsson modem protocol. The subsystem has been orphaned since 2013. The last meaningful changes from the maintainers were in March 2013: a8c7687bf216 ("caif_virtio: Check that vringh_config is not null") b2273be8d2df ("caif_virtio: Use vringh_notify_enable correctly") 0d2e1a2926b1 ("caif_virtio: Introduce caif over virtio") Not-so-coincidentally, according to "the Internet" ST-Ericsson officially shut down its modem joint venture in Aug 2013. If anyone is using this code please yell! In the 13 years since, the code has accumulated 200 non-merge commits, of which 71 were cross-tree API changes, 21 carried Fixes: tags, and the remaining ~110 were cleanups, doc conversions, treewide refactors, and one partial removal (caif_hsi, ca75bcf0a83b). We are still getting fixes to this code, in the last 10 days there were 3 reports on security@ about CAIF that I have been CCed on. UAPI constants (AF_CAIF, ARPHRD_CAIF, N_CAIF, VIRTIO_ID_CAIF) and the SELinux classmap entry are intentionally kept for ABI stability. Acked-by: Michael S.

hwspinlock: u8500: delete driver

2026-04-06T14:43:18+00:00

The U8500 platform was converted to DT around 2013 and is DT only meanwhile. This driver has never been converted to a DT driver, so it clearly hasn't been used since then. To ease upcoming refactoring in the hwspinlock subsystem, remove this obsolete driver.

Use CONFIG_EXT4_FS instead of CONFIG_EXT3_FS in all of the defconfigs

2025-10-14T01:50:40+00:00

Commit d6ace46c82fd ("ext4: remove obsolete EXT3 config options") removed the obsolete EXT3_CONFIG options, since it had been over a decade since fs/ext3 had been removed. Unfortunately, there were a number of defconfigs that still used CONFIG_EXT3_FS which the cleanup commit didn't fix up. This led to a large number of defconfig test builds to fail. Oops.

ARM: configs: u8500: Set NFC_SHDLC as built-in

2025-10-01T21:48:45+00:00

The CONFIG_NFC_SHDLC=m setting in u8500_defconfig causes a Kconfig warning because the NFC_SHDLC symbol does not support being built as a module. Change the selection from 'm' to 'y' to build the driver in-kernel.

ARM: refresh defconfig files

2022-07-22T10:33:30+00:00

A lot of Kconfig options have changed over the years, and we tend to not do a blind 'make defconfig' to refresh the files, to ensure we catch options that should not have gone away. I used some a bit of scripting to only rework the bits where an option moved around in any of the defconfig files, without also dropping any of the other lines, to make it clearer which options we no longer have.
