    fmc: Delete the FMC subsystem · 6a80b300
    Linus Walleij authored Jun 10, 2019
    The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to
    drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream.
    
    The current implementation has architectural flaws and would
    need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can
    reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g.
    I2C, FPGA and GPIO.
    
    We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be
    better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean
    slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.
