[PATCH] dt-bindings: net: mdio: remove deprecated .txt binding stub
Posted by Akash Sukhavasi 3 days, 4 hours ago
The plain text binding file was superseded by the YAML schema in
commit 62d77ff7ecbf ("dt-bindings: net: Add a YAML schemas for the
generic MDIO options"). The file now contains only a redirect notice.
Remove it.

Why removing it? The file was left on purpose why converting, so you
should provide reasons why now it is worth to remove it.

Don't do such patches one by one.


Best regards,

The file is a single line redirect, untouched since 2019. No files
in the tree refer to mdio.txt, and all existing references already
point to mdio.yaml exclusively. The redirect no longer serves a
practical purpose. Sending v2 with this justification in the commit
message.

Noted. I'll batch any similar cleanups into a series going forward,
and make sure commit messages clearly cover the what, why, and how.

Thanks,
