Linux driver activity tracker

The Linux kernel ships thousands of device drivers, many of them written for hardware that hasn't been sold in years. This project ranks every leaf directory under drivers/ in the kernel tree by how active it's been over the last five years — and writes up the long-tail dormant ones with a recommendation: keep, document, deprecate, or remove.

Of the 2,028 directories tracked, 2,028 looked dormant enough to warrant a researched recommendation with citations behind every claim. The other 0 carry a short page summarising the git-log evidence for why they didn't need that deeper read. how it works →
