[PATCH 0/3] atl1c: update some information of atl1c driver

[Cloud Ren]

the series is to update some information of atl1c driver. Because the old author
has left, update author informatio for maintaining. and in a upstreamed driver,
driver doesn't need version information. the version of kernel will reflect its
version.

[PATCH 1/3] atl1c: remove ATL1C_DRV_VERSION stuff

[Cloud Ren]

The version is reflected by the kernel release, driver versions upstream make no
sense.

RE: [PATCH 2/3] atl1c: change author

[Rodriguez, Luis]

Um, actually, for now can you please use QCA or Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. QCA != Qualcomm.

Jie Yang, _is_ the original author. Thats a truth.

Why would you want to remove this line, this sounds very bad.

What you probably want is a change in MAINTAINERS file to reflect who
maintains atl1c at this moment and how to reach them by email.

Notes:

- Its also possible to add a new MODULE_AUTHOR() line

- You could remove the obsolete email address and keep Jie Yang name as
in :

MODULE_AUTHOR("Jie Yang");

[PATCH 3/3] atl1c: refine driver description

Missing __initdata

Btw you can remove cards_found and the bd_number field.
