Subject: [patch 2.6.14-rc4 3/3] Documentation: add sk98lin to the feature-removal-schedule
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 21:31:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <10182005213100.12480@bilbo.tuxdriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <10182005213100.12420@bilbo.tuxdriver.com>
The sk98lin and skge drivers cover the same set of hardware, yet the
sk98lin driver is barely maintained. This patch schedules sk98lin
for removal early next year.

+What: sk98lin driver
+When: April 2006
+Why: This driver has been essentially unmaintained for some time.
+ Internally it is a mess, and the original authors are unwilling to
+ correct it. Now the skge driver covers all the same hardware.
