Hi!

Would you please drop:
pci_module_init_conversion-in-scsi-subsys-2nd-try.patch
cause it the moving of libata now it will only produce a lot of errors.
I'll rewrite it today.

Thanks,
Henrik Kretzschmar

And this wrong too in that patch:
-	/* Translate error or zero return into zero or one */
-	return pci_module_init(&aic7xxx_pci_driver) ? 0 : 1;
+	return pci_register_driver(&aic7xxx_pci_driver);

regards,

Acked! But I don't think thats good style to __translate__ return values,
even if this one is ignored.
I'll keep it the way it was and just change pci_module_init() into pci_register_driver().

From: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de>

Changes pci_module_init() to pci_register_driver() in the scsi-subsys
for drivers which just return the returvalue of that function.

Your new patch boils down to this:

--- a/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c~pci_module_init-conversion-in-scsi-subsys-2nd-try-update
+++ a/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c
@@ -246,7 +246,8 @@ ahc_linux_pci_dev_probe(struct pci_dev *
 int

+	return pci_register_driver(&aic7xxx_pci_driver) ? 0 : 1;
 }

_


But the earlier verion was better, and ahc_linux_pci_init() has only one
caller which cheerfully ignores the error code anyway.

pci_register_driver() is (or will be) marked __must_check. 
ahc_linux_pci_init() will cunningly suppress that warning, while leaving the
driver in an incorrect state.

An appropriate fix would be to teach the rather optimistic ahc_linux_init()
about failures.
