From: Benjamin Poirier Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 06:14:13 +0000 (+0900) Subject: qlge: Move drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/ to drivers/staging/qlge/ X-Git-Tag: v5.4-rc1~131^2~388 X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=955315b0dc8c8641311430f40fbe53990ba40e33;p=linux.git qlge: Move drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/ to drivers/staging/qlge/ The hardware has been declared EOL by the vendor more than 5 years ago. What's more relevant to the Linux kernel is that the quality of this driver is not on par with many other mainline drivers.
