[PATCH] config-generic: disable aic94xx driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



aic94xx is unmaintained upstream. It's not even possible to get a
buildtime warning fixed. No-one seems to be using it. Disable this
driver.

0) Bravely untested.

1) aic94xx is "maintainerless": https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/29/215

2) Three attempts to get its buildtime warning fixed:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/20/478
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/25/265 (I've carried that patch locally
  ever since)
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/30/445

3) There's exactly one report in bugzilla (for the Fedora product and
the kernel component) where someone has actually loaded this driver. But
the hard drive involved was actually broken:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848798 ! This suggests there
are simply no Fedora users for this driver.
