NFC: remove TI nfcwilink driver
PATCH 1/1 NFC: remove TI nfcwilink driver
It appears that TI WiLink devices including NFC (WL185x/WL189x) never shipped. The only information I found were announcements in Feb 2012 about the parts. There's been no activity on this driver besided common changes since initially added in Jan 2012. There's also no in users that instantiate the platform device (nor DT bindings).
This is a first step in removing TI ST (shared transport) driver in favor of extending the BT hci_ll driver to support WL183x chips.

since the firmware files TINfcInit_* also never made it into the linux-firmware tree, I have no idea who is using this driver. I am actually fine with removing it since it would be easy enough to bring back based on hci_ll driver once there is hardware to test this on.
Regards

Ping. Someone going to pick up this patch?

if Samuel does not have anything pending for his tree, I can take it through bluetooth-next tree.

From the looks of -next, it doesn't appear so.

I'll take it, I need to catch up with pending NFC patches this week.
Cheers,

Applied to nfc-next, thanks.
