Dear Sirs,

Won Kang contributed a driver gdm724x to the Linux kernel staging subsystem in 2013. Have you done any tests with this hardware in the years up to today?

struct usb_device_id lists the following devices the driver can work with:
PID_GDM7240 0x8000
PID_GDM7243 0x9000

but on http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids I can only find:
0x1076 GCT Semiconductor, Inc.
0x0031 Bluetooth Device
0x0032 Bluetooth Device
0x8002 LU150 LTE Modem [Yota LU150]

I am asking because I tried to find a test device to test it. That is difficult in 2024.

Do you think the driver can be removed or should it stay in the mainline kernel?

Thanks for your response.

Regards,

Philipp Hortmann
