[2.6 patch] schedule obsolete OSS drivers for removal (version 2)

Adrian Bunk
2005-07-29T15:32:27Z

This patch schedules obsolete OSS drivers (with ALSA drivers that
support the same hardware) for removal.

Scheduling the via82cxxx driver for removal was ACK'ed by Jeff Garzik.

Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
Acked-by: Thomas Sailer <sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch>

---

@Andrew:
I'd like to see this in the next -mm for getting more feedback.

Changes since the first version:

Options no longer scheduled for removal:
- SOUND_AD1816
- SOUND_ICH
- SOUND_OPL3SA2

I've Cc'ed the people listed in MAINTAINERS as being responsible for one
or more of these drivers, and I've also Cc'ed the ALSA people.

Please tell if any of my driver selections are wrong.
