Update all drivers when making core tty infrastructure changes?
Thanks!
I don't have an Amiga with that board, I don't have an obscure VME 68K
board. The changes required at this point would be tricky to verify
without hardware, and the upcoming changes will require significant
changes to all the hardware drivers, which will need someone to actually
maintain the drivers, or to drop them.
IC, testing/maintaining non-trival changes is a different situation.
But it would still be nice to announce such removals/breakings in advance,
cfr. Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. At least we knew the old
NCR53C9x core was going away, taken with it all drivers depending on it...
Anyone who cares about these drivers (ser_a2232 and vme_scc, perhaps
others?)?
FWIW, this also affects the new atari_scc driver...
