Linville" Subject: [patch 2.6.14-rc4 0/3] sk98lin: neuter and prepare for removal Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 21:30:59 -0400 Message-ID: <10182005213059.12304@bilbo.tuxdriver.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: jgarzik@pobox.com, shemminger@osdl.org, mlindner@syskonnect.de, rroesler@syskonnect.de Return-path: To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org These patches take steps towards removing sk98lin from the upstream kernel. -- Remove sk98lin's MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to avoid confusing userland tools about which driver to load; -- Mark sk98lin as Obsolete in the MAINTAINERS file; and, -- Add sk98lin to the feature-removal-schedule.txt file in the Documentation directory. I accept the possibility that I may be jumping the gun on this. However, I think it is worth opening this discussion. Patches to follow...
