Subject: [PATCH] floppy: Provide a PNP device table in the module.
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 17:50:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LfeFk-0002mD-OE@zelda.netsplit.com> (raw)
The missing device table means that the floppy module is not
auto-loaded, even when the appropriate PNP device (0700) is found.
We don't actually use the table in the module, since the device doesn't
have a struct pnp_driver, but it's sufficient to cause an alias in the
module that udev/modprobe will use.
