Subject: [PATCH] eeprom: remove doc and MAINTAINERS section after driver was removed
Date:   Thu, 12 Oct 2023 06:28:34 +0200
Message-Id: <20231012042834.6663-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

Commit 0113a99b8a75 ("eeprom: Remove deprecated legacy eeprom driver")
already removes the eeprom driver's code.

Remove also the eeprom driver's documentation and MAINTAINERS section.

-Description
------------
-
-This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
-of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
-EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
-24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
-industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
-
-This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
-organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
-effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
-
-DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
-The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
-than one address.
-
-DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
-addresses, is found.
-
-Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
-specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
-
-The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
-software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
-location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
-does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
-bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
-this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
-device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
-does not support this register.
-
-Lacking functionality
----------------------
-
-* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
-  typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
-  multiple addresses.
-
-* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
-  These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
-
-* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
-  to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
-  to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
-  until the values are restored somehow.
-
-Use
----
-
-After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
-should have some EEPROM directories in ``/sys/bus/i2c/devices/*`` of names such
-as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
-contains the binary data from EEPROM.
