patch "USB: rio500: Remove Rio 500 kernel driver" added to usb-linus
Subsystems (5)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: rio500: Remove Rio 500 kernel driver
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: rio500: Remove Rio 500 kernel driver
The Rio500 kernel driver has not been used by Rio500 owners since 2001 not long after the rio500 project added support for a user-space USB stack through the very first versions of usbdevfs and then libusb.
Support for the kernel driver was removed from the upstream utilities in 2008:
