Are you merging this directly to Linus?  or what?

Thanks.

A generic negative of these removals, even for ancient
drivers that may or may not work anymore, is that the
old links may still be found on things like the
wayback machine/archive.org.

Miguel, do you have a copy of this link source?

If you do, should it be introduced as a .rst into
Documentation/ somewhere?

Another suggestion would be to move
"include/linux/cfag12864b.h" into drivers/auxdisplay

That is actually a good point. I just tried to pick it up in the
wayback machine and sadly it only saved the error page from Apache
when it was already gone. :(

IIRC I had only some example usages and some photos of the device
working with the driver, etc. The docs I wrote are in
Documentation/auxdisplay/ (in particular the wiring required for the
device), so that is fine.

I will see in any case if I have it in my ancient backups :)

Cheers,
Miguel
