[GIT PATCH] Update staging TODO for rts5139 and rts_pstor

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

 



These are each >20k LOC drivers that embed an entire SD stack, and present
SD cards as if they were SCSI devices; both drivers should be rewritten to
be small hooks that connect the PCI (for rts_pstor) or USB (for rts5139)
hardware into Linux's MMC/xD/memorystick stacks.
