Hi Finn,

now that you've officially taken over NCR5380 is there a chance to look
into converting the drivers away from scsi_register to the modern
scsi_host_alloc/scsi_add_host method?

Have any other conversions taken place? I'm curious to see what was
involved. Hopefully not a re-write, like esp_scsi (?)

I did a few of them in 2009:

commit c2a24a4ca1137473971842461612e56a654e7edb
("m68k: amiga - A3000 SCSI platform device conversion")
commit c1d288a58936cd0654844d807e53a203f4838fb4
("m68k: amiga - GVP Series II SCSI zorro_driver conversion")
commit c737e22cde37e4e2ad126316e4aab7349a491ab3
("m68k: amiga - A2091/A590 SCSI zorro_driver conversion")

All of them without access to the hardware. So far I haven't heard any
complaints ;-)
