We keep seeing new users (and copies) of EmbeddedPkg:s MmcDxe, which while it predates the MdeModulePkg SD/(E)MMCsupport is in effect unmaintained and also duplicates core industry standard definitions.
Since we now have GetMaintainers.py to parse Maintainers.txt for us, extend its functionality to warn about less supported code. Then as an indication of its unsuitability for reference (or use), set its Status flag in Maintainers.txt to Obsolete. Once this is done, follow up and do the same with the hardware drivers (not the software ones) still left in EmbeddedPkg/Drivers. They were added back when not using the UEFI driver model was still cool, or simply before edk2-platforms existed. They should move to edk2-platforms, but most of them require some level of rewriting before that. 1/3 adds a warning printout to GetMaintainer.py 2/3 obsoletes EmbeddedPkg/Universal/MmcDxe/ 3/3 obsoletes remaining hw drivers in EmbeddedPkg/Drivers Cc: Andrew Fish <[email protected]> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]> Cc: Bob Feng <[email protected]> Cc: Laszlo Ersek <[email protected]> Cc: Liming Gao <[email protected]> Cc: Michael D Kinney <[email protected]> Leif Lindholm (3): BaseTools: add handling for 'S:' flag to GetMaintainer.py Maintainers.txt: mark EmbeddedPkg MmcDxe as Obsolete Maintainers.txt: mark EmbeddedPkg hw drivers as bsolete BaseTools/Scripts/GetMaintainer.py | 4 ++++ Maintainers.txt | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+) -- 2.20.1 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
