Subject: [PATCH 0/15] RFC: create drivers/net/legacy for ISA, EISA, MCA drivers
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 21:19:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288315159-1350-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
The drivers/net dir has a lot of files - originally there were
no subdirs, but at least now subdirs are being used effectively.
But the original drivers from 10+ years ago are still right
there at the top. This series creates a drivers/net/legacy dir.
The initial target is things like ISA/EISA/MCA drivers, and with
that alone, we can get close to 90 files out of drivers/net.
Plus, by having a semi-defined description for legacy as being
"drivers more than 10 years old" we'll always have a destination
for drivers as they fall out of maintainership and use.
If in fact this series gets agreement, I'm figuring it makes sense
to have it go in either at the beginning of a dev cycle, or at
the very end -- I have no strict preference; whatever is easier
for people on the whole. Since I don't expect a lot of activity
in any of these drivers, hopefully it doesn't impact any one else's
pending changes too significantly either way.
All the moves are 100% translation; I didn't add or change any of
the driver sources at all, so I've used "-M" to format the patches
for e-mail. Similarly, if you apply them and git am nags about
whitespace, that comes directly from the original files.
Paul.
