Subject: can entire drivers/acorn subdirectory be removed?
Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 06:38:05 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0707060632330.12604@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
given that:
1) drivers/Makefile doesn't even have an entry for the acorn/
subdirectory, and
2) the Makefile drivers/acorn/char/Makefile is incorrect anyway, since
it contains:
obj-$(CONFIG_L7200_KEYB) += defkeymap-l7200.o keyb_l7200.o
which refers to a non-existent source file keyb_l7200.c, and it's
based on a non-existent config variable on top of that. it certainly
seems that that entire subdirectory can be tossed.
and if that happens, then the config variables defined in
drivers/acorn/block/Kconfig:
config BLK_DEV_FD1772
config BLK_DEV_MFM
config BLK_DEV_MFM_AUTODETECT
would also vanish, which suggests that any references to *them* could
also be deleted:
$ grep -r BLK_DEV_FD1772 *
arch/arm26/defconfig:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772 is not set
arch/arm26/machine/dma.c:#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772_MODULE)
arch/arm26/machine/dma.c:#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772_MODULE)
...
anyway, you get the idea. thoughts?
