    Input: gpio_tilt - delete driver · 3c8a23c2
    Linus Walleij authored
    This driver was merged in 2011 as a tool for detecting the orientation
    of a screen. The device driver assumes board file setup using the
    platform data from <linux/input/gpio_tilt.h>. But no boards in the
    kernel tree defines this platform data.
    
    As I am faced with refactoring drivers to use GPIO descriptors and
    pass decriptor tables from boards, or use the device tree device
    drivers like these creates a serious problem: I cannot fix them and
    cannot test them, not even compile-test them with a system actually
    using it (no in-tree boardfile).
    
    I suggest to delete this driver and rewrite it using device tree if
    it is still in use on actively maintained systems.
    
    I can also offer to rewrite it out of the blue using device tree if
    someone promise to test it and help me iterate it.
