Linus Torvalds eafdca4d70 Staging/IIO patches for 4.18-rc1 
Here is the big staging and IIO driver update for 4.18-rc1.
 
 It was delayed as I wanted to make sure the final driver deletions did
 not cause any major merge issues, and all now looks good.
 
 There are a lot of patches here, just over 1000.  The diffstat summary
 shows the major changes here:
 	1007 files changed, 16828 insertions(+), 227770 deletions(-)
 Because of this, we might be close to shrinking the overall kernel
 source code size for two releases in a row.
 
 There was loads of work in this release cycle, primarily:
 	- tons of ks7010 driver cleanups
 	- lots of mt7621 driver fixes and cleanups
 	- most driver cleanups
 	- wilc1000 fixes and cleanups
 	- lots and lots of IIO driver cleanups and new additions
 	- debugfs cleanups for all staging drivers
 	- lots of other staging driver cleanups and fixes, the shortlog
 	  has the full details.
 
 but the big user-visable things here are the removal of 3 chunks of
 code:
 	- ncpfs and ipx were removed on schedule, no one has cared about
 	  this code since it moved to staging last year, and if it needs
 	  to come back, it can be reverted.
 	- lustre file system is removed.  I've ranted at the lustre
 	  developers about once a year for the past 5 years, with no
 	  real forward progress at all to clean things up and get the
 	  code into the "real" part of the kernel.  Given that the
 	  lustre developers continue to work on an external tree and try
 	  to port those changes to the in-kernel tree every once in a
 	  while, this whole thing really really is not working out at
 	  all.  So I'm deleting it so that the developers can spend the
 	  time working in their out-of-tree location and get things
 	  cleaned up properly to get merged into the tree correctly at a
 	  later date.
 
 Because of these file removals, you will have merge issues on some of
 these files (2 in the ipx code, 1 in the ncpfs code, and 1 in the
 atomisp driver).  Just delete those files, it's a simple merge :)
 
 All of this has been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.
