These are the last ones still using the old 53x7xx instead of the new 53c700 core which despite the name also handles 53c710 chips. As the 53c7xx driver hasn't been updated to proper locking, error handling and bus mapping APIs we'd really better get rid of it. Porting to use 53c700 should be trivial in theory and we already have three nice example drivers in the tree. Could anyone who has the hardware try to do a port? Or are they actually completely dead (I could imagine that for the vme ones) in which case we'd better just remove them from tree, as they're really tiny wrapper only anywa. As for amgia7xx is there a reason we have four different config options for this single tiny driver?
