Driver 'w83627hf' needs updating - please use bus_type methods

[Chris Boot]

Hi all,

Just noticed the above message in my kernel log on my machine running  
2.6.16-rc2-ide2. I know there's a 2.6.16-rc4 now... I'm waiting to  
upgrade until Alan comes up with new -ide patches or ATAPI over  
libata/PATA starts working in -mm.

On another machine I also get:

Driver 'via686a' needs updating - please use bus_type methods

HTH,
Chris

There is a patch v -rc3 on the web site and I wouldn't be suprisd if it
applied easily to -rc4. I'll put out a new diff tomorrow some time,
which will also add the first bits of a promise 2024x/2026x driver for
the older boards.

Should be fixed in -rc4.  If not, please let us know.
