Re: [2.6 patch] MAINTAINERS: remove HGA FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER entry

[devzero]

addon:

- the driver  has issues - see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9689
- after digging out author's recent email on the net and asking him, he confirmed, that he doesen`t maintain it anymore. he lost his hga hardware in 2001. also see bugzilla entry.

furthermore:

>hgafb: probe of hgafb.0 failed with error -22
>Device 'hgafb.0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
>WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:107 device_release()

as that bug hasn't been touched since january and kernel telling that it`s broken, i think it also should  depend on BROKEN.

[PATCH] hgafb: fix module removal

[Anton Vorontsov]

We should allocate platform device dynamically, otherwise it can't be removed.

Also, back in time it was acceptable to mix devices and platform_devices,
today this might cause all sort of bugs. Fix that too.

This patch was build-tested only.

It should be just trivially fixed. Here is the patch, I can only build
test it though.
