Re: [PATCH 0/4] drivers/misc: add Goodix GXFP5130 eSPI fingerprint sensor driver

[Metehan Günen]

I am withdrawing this patch series (v1).

After consulting with Void755, who wrote the original out-of-tree driver
this submission was based on, it became clear that the driver is not ready
for mainline inclusion yet. Specifically:

  - The kernel module currently handles sensor-specific protocol logic
    (MP protocol, Goodix command structures) that belongs in userspace.
    This is consistent with the concern you raised about why a kernel
    driver is needed at all.

  - A sibling sensor (SIL6250) shares the same eSPI mailbox transport
    mechanism. A properly refactored, transport-only kernel driver could
    support both sensors, which would make a stronger case for mainline.

  - The original author prefers out-of-tree maintenance for now while
    the architecture is reworked.

I will resubmit once the kernel/userspace boundary is properly designed
and the driver is in a state the original author considers ready.

Thank you for the detailed review of v1.
