Hi all:
Sorry for my late reply. I'm on my vacation these days.
At first I want to explain the relationship between the staging driver
"rts_pstor" with this one here.
Initially, we tried to build a SCSI driver for Realtek PCI-E card
reader, which has the same architecture and code base with our Windows
driver. And I pushed rts_pstor to staging tree last year. But Realtek
PCI-E card reader is not a real SCSI device, which doesn't understand
SCSI command at all. So SCSI subsystem won't accept rts_pstor, and I
can't find a proper subsystem to push it to. That's why I create this
series of drivers, which are more compatible with the whole Linux
architecture.
We are still maintaining the SCSI driver for Realtek card reader, and
will release the latest source code in the Github in the future. But
maybe we won't push it to the staging tree any more.
BR,
Wei WANG
