Arnd Bergmann 6d97985072 isdn: move capi drivers to staging
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.

menuconfig ISDN_CAPI
tristate "CAPI 2.0 subsystem"
help
This provides CAPI (the Common ISDN Application Programming
Interface) Version 2.0, a standard making it easy for programs to
access ISDN hardware in a device independent way. (For details see
<http://www.capi.org/>.) CAPI supports making and accepting voice
and data connections, controlling call options and protocols,
as well as ISDN supplementary services like call forwarding or
three-party conferences (if supported by the specific hardware
driver).
This subsystem requires a hardware specific driver.
See CONFIG_BT_CMTP for the last remaining regular driver
in the kernel that uses the CAPI subsystem.
if ISDN_CAPI
config CAPI_TRACE
bool "CAPI trace support"
default y
help
If you say Y here, the kernelcapi driver can make verbose traces
of CAPI messages. This feature can be enabled/disabled via IOCTL for
every controller (default disabled).
This will increase the size of the kernelcapi module by 20 KB.
If unsure, say Y.
config ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20
tristate "CAPI2.0 /dev/capi20 support"
help
This option will provide the CAPI 2.0 interface to userspace
applications via /dev/capi20. Applications should use the
standardized libcapi20 to access this functionality. You should say
Y/M here.
config ISDN_CAPI_MIDDLEWARE
bool "CAPI2.0 Middleware support"
depends on ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20 && TTY
help
This option will enhance the capabilities of the /dev/capi20
interface. It will provide a means of moving a data connection,
established via the usual /dev/capi20 interface to a special tty
device. If you want to use pppd with pppdcapiplugin to dial up to
your ISP, say Y here.
config ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV_VERBOSE
bool "Verbose reason code reporting"
depends on ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV
help
If you say Y here, the capidrv interface will give verbose reasons
for disconnecting. This will increase the size of the kernel by 7 KB.
If unsure, say N.
