Subject: Re: [2.6 patch] MAINTAINERS: remove HGA FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER entry
Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2008 13:41:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <299882843@web.de> (raw)
addon:
- the driver has issues - see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9689
- after digging out author's recent email on the net and asking him, he confirmed, that he doesen`t maintain it anymore. he lost his hga hardware in 2001. also see bugzilla entry.
furthermore:
>hgafb: probe of hgafb.0 failed with error -22
>Device 'hgafb.0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
>WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:107 device_release()
as that bug hasn't been touched since january and kernel telling that it`s broken, i think it also should depend on BROKEN.
