This has been replace by the bcm2835-mbox mailbox driver, the bcm2835/rpi-firmware driver that presents a kernel interface, and the bcm-vcio driver that presents a user-space interface. Both of the latter two use the underlying mailbox driver.\r\n\r\nWhat you are seeing is the increasing use of upstreamed (bcm2835) drivers in the Raspberry Pi kernel. This is a good thing in the long run. So one driver has been replaced by three, but it is progress because two of them conform to standard APIs."}}
