Linux 7.1 Ends Bus Mouse Era by Dropping Legacy Input Drivers
Linux 7.1 trims the input subsystem by removing decades-old drivers for bus mice and other legacy hardware (InPort/Microsoft/ATI XL, Logibm, Palm Top PC 110 touchpad, ICS MK712, CT82C710 PS/2; OLPC HGPK support also dropped), part of a broader mainline cleanup that includes about 3,374 input deletions, while new drivers (Charlieplex GPIO keypad, aw86927, Chrome OS Fn-key map extension) are added in the same cycle.
