Re: MIPS: ralink: CONFIG_RALINK_ILL_ACC?

Hi John,

This message never made it to my Inbox. I copied it from a mips' list
archive om the web. That kept this issue on my TODO list, although it
actually was resolved quite quickly.

(CONFIG_RALINK_ILL_ACC was already gone in next-20141029. So that issue
is resolved, as far as I care.)

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/26/456:
    I have a 800 line perl monster that checks for stuff like this. It's not
    very sophisticated but smart enough to spot typos like this one. I try
    to have it check each linux-next (and mainline) release.

    (I think Valentin Rothberg is trying to automate this properly. See
    http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2014/ocw/sessions/1863 .)

This is the last time I'll put pressure on Valentin _publicly_, I
promise!
