do you know what the status of the mvme147 board support / SCSI driver
is? The mvme147 scsi driver is one of the few remaining drivers still
using the scsi_module infrastructure thay I'd like to finally kill off.
Unlike some other drivers it should be fairly trivial to convert, but
I'd like to first know if there is any point in investing that work.
I still have some MVME147 hardware, but I haven't run anything more recent
than 2.6 kernels on it. I doubt anyone is still using it.
Are there still other users of the chipset driver? Does CONFIG_MVME147
The wd33c93 chipset driver is also used on various Amigas and on SGI MIPS
systems. Those no longer use scsi_module, though (IIRC I converted most of
them in 2009).
still build?
Of course it does ;-)
I personally don't have a big issue with just killing the board support
code, it can always be revived when needed.
Killing board support doesn't gain us that much...
Stephen, are you still using them?
