25k Lines Of Reworked Code For The Linux 4.7 Staging Area
Greg Kroah-Hartman has sent in his various pull requests for the Linux 4.7 kernel merge window.
The most interesting of these pull requests by Greg KH on Friday night was arguably of the staging area. The other pull requests were the usual churn unless impacted by one of the individual drivers improved upon or added to USB, char/misc, TTY/serial, etc.
For the staging PR he commented, "I think we almost broke even with this release, only adding a few more lines than we removed, which isn't bad overall given that there's a bunch of new iio drivers added. The Lustre developers seem to have woken up from their sleep and have been doing a great job in cleaning up the code and pruning unused or old cruft, the filesystem is almost readable :)"
Staging this cycle brought 25,475 new lines of code and 25,049 deleted lines of code. New IIO driver support includes the lsm9ds0-gyro, Bosch BMI160, bmc150 SPI, AM2315 support, h3lis331dl accelerometer support, and more. Dig through this message if curious about the individual details.
