From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Matthew Wilcox Subject: Advansys driver Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 11:11:41 -0600 Message-ID: <20070726171141.GE19275@parisc-linux.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: Received: from palinux.external.hp.com ([192.25.206.14]:47329 "EHLO mail.parisc-linux.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1761664AbXGZRLm (ORCPT ); Thu, 26 Jul 2007 13:11:42 -0400 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-scsi-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org To: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org Since the AdvanSys driver hasn't had a maintainer in 6 years, I don't think anybody's going to seriously object to me taking this on. I present a git tree of patches: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/willy/advansys.git;a=summary and the broken-out version of those patches: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/willy/advansys-2007-07-26/ There's no way I'm going to send the Lindenting of that driver to the list; it's 1.1MB. Here's the git-log entry for it: advansys: Large, uninteresting changes - Run Lindent - Move advansys_detect and advansys_release to the end of the file - Split advansys_board_found out of advansys_detect - Rename a few variables, such as shp to shost and pci_devp to pdev - Turn STATIC into static I'll send the other 21 patches as a reply to this mail. I'd like to particularly thank Ken Witherow for testing many different versions of these patches. He was indefatigable in the presence of the daft changes I was making when I didn't have a card to test it on. I would thank Dave Jones for sending me his card, but I think he did it to get revenge on me for something :-) If anyone has an EISA version of this card they want to donate to me, I can give it a good home in an Alpha. -- "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
