Subject: RFC: should we deprecate unmaintained isa-only drivers?
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 08:06:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141230160616.GA29149@infradead.org> (raw)
We've got a few very old, isa-only SCSI HBA drivers in the tree. Of
those only one (aha152x) sas significant maintaince since the dawn
of git, all others only saw global / automatic updates. 4 of those
are fairly trivial wrappers aroudn the NCR538 core, so I don't mind
keeping them:
- dtc
- g_NCR5380
- pas16
- t128
but I'd love to know if anyone is actually using the other drivers:
- wd7000
- aha1542
- in2000
- NCR53c406
- sym53c416
- u14-34f
- ultrastor
note that the last two even drive the same hardware. There is
significant cruft in all these, so dropping them would help
further maintainance of the SCSI midlayer.
