  • Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
    '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
    decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

    This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
    I also fixed the indentation.

    There are a variety of indentation styles found.

    a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
    b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
    c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
    d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
    e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
    f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
    g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

    In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
    following commend:

    $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

  • I tried to find any indication of whether the capi drivers are still in
    use, and have not found anything from a long time ago.

    With public ISDN networks almost completely shut down over the past 12
    months, there is very little you can actually do with this hardware. The
    main remaining use case would be to connect ISDN voice phones to an
    in-house installation with Asterisk or LCR, but anyone trying this in
    turn seems to be using either the mISDN driver stack, or out-of-tree
    drivers from the hardware vendors.

    I may of course have missed something, so I would suggest moving these
    three drivers (avm, hysdn, gigaset) into drivers/staging/ just in case
    someone still uses them.

    If nobody complains, we can remove them entirely in six months, or
    otherwise move the core code and any drivers that are still needed back
    into drivers/isdn.

    As Paul Bolle notes, he is still testing the gigaset driver as long as
    he can, but the Dutch ISDN network will be shut down in September 2019,
    which puts an end to that.

    Marcel Holtmann still maintains the Bluetooth CMTP profile and wants to
    keep that alive, so the actual CAPI subsystem code remains in place for
    now, after all other drivers are gone, CMTP and CAPI can be merged into
    a single driver directory.

  • With all isdn4linux hardware drivers gone, this is only a wrapper around
    CAPI to support old user space. However, from looking at the mailing
    list, it seems that the last time anyone asked about it was in 2014,
    when the upgrade from a linux-2.4 installation failed, and mISDN was
    suggested as a replacement.

    The largest public ISDN network (Deutsche Telekom) was supposed to be
    shut down 2018, which must have drastically reduced the number of legacy
    installations.

    When we last discussed removing i4l in 2016, Karsten Keil suggested
    revisiting this in 2018. I guess this is overdue.

  • The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
    saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
    bloat-o-meter output is below.

    The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
    TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
    layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
    symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
    "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

    bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
    removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
    '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

  • It doesn't make much sense to enable ISDN services if you don't
    intend to connect to a network. Therefore insisting that ISDN
    depends on NETDEVICES seems logical. We can then remove any
    guards mentioning NETDEVICES inside all subordinate drivers.

    This also has the nice side-effect of fixing the warning below
    when ISDN_I4L && !CONFIG_NETDEVICES at compile time.

    This patch fixes:
    drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_common.c: In function ‘isdn_ioctl’:
    drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_common.c:1278:8: warning: unused variable ‘s’ [-Wunused-variable]

  • 1. Rewrite the outdated help texts for config options ISDN and ISDN_CAPI.
    2. The MISDN config option appeared between ISDN_I4L and the I4L hardware
    driver options; move it to a less irritating place.
    3. HYSDN is not in fact an I4L driver, and needn't depend on ISDN_I4L, so
    move it from the I4L section to the general section.
    4. ISDN_HDLC is now also used by drivers outside I4L. Move it from the
    I4L section to the general section, too.

  • Remove a menu statement and several dependencies from the Kconfig files in
    the drivers/isdn tree as they have become unnecessary by the transformation
    of CONFIG_ISDN from "menu, config" into "menuconfig".

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
