Future of Octeon MIPS hardware support

2020-03-03 Thread Ben Hutchings
The main Ethernet driver for all Octeon MIPS SoCs has been disabled upstream in Linux 5.5, and will be removed in 5.6. The driver has been in "staging" (i.e. it didn't meet the usual standards for kernel code) ever since it was added in 2009. It recently stopped building, and didn't have a
