staging: ion: remove from the tree

2020-10-26T05:53:09Z

The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel. It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the code is abandonded and not used by anyone. Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at the current situation. Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems for everyone involved.

staging: android: Delete the 'vsoc' driver

2020-02-10T16:51:12Z

The 'vsoc' driver was required for an early iteration of the Android 'cuttlefish' virtual platform, but this platform has been wholly converted to use virtio drivers instead. Delete this old driver.
