Well, in general, I totally agree.
It seems, however, that this slipped through the cracks. My Debian
kernelconfig has I2C_COMPAT still enabled, so I am reluctant to remove
it from one kernel release to the next.
I wonder if we need some printout that it is really going away for a few
kernel releases.
Opinions? Jean?
Happy hacking,
Wolfram
