Given that the new megaraid_mbox driver works nicely I suggest to: - remove all but the two PCI ids not support by megaraid_mbox from the old driver - rename the old module to megaraid_legacy so people don't use it by accident - remove all code dealing with more recent controllers from the old driver. Unfortunately the checks for different types of hardware are implicit in the driver and not keyed of the PCI IDs. Sreenivas and Seokmann, could you help us with identifying the codepathes only used by recent hardware that we can remove from the legacy driver? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
