staging: remove the Atheros otus vendor driver

2010-10-02T01:11:56Z

Atheros originally had posted a vendor driver to support the Atheros AR9170 devices, the driver was called otus [1]. The otus driver was staging quality but it, along with other chipset documentation helped the community do a rewrite for a proper driver. Johannes Berg did the ar9170 [2] work and Christian Lamparter then followed up with some final touches for inclusion upstream. The original goal behind ar9170 was to match all functionality, performance, stability and quality against Otus. In the end this proved quite challenging even with GPLv2 firmware. Christian then decided to work on a replacement driver with new enhancements to the GPLv2 firmware. It took 1 year, 5 months, 9 days since this merge of ar9170usb upstream to release carl9170 with upstream inclusion intentions but its now there. We remove the Otus driver now as the carl9170 driver actually ends up not only replacing but superseding the staging Otus driver! http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/otus http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 Signed-off-by: Luis R.

staging: otus: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()

2010-09-30T11:14:08Z

Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks. I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) @@ struct net_device* dev; @@ -kfree(dev) +free_netdev(dev) Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
