Any published link should probably be accompanied by a "retrieved on yyyy-mm-dd" qualification. But no qualification is better than no link at all, IMO. Of course, there is a reason for an edit here. Yet it's not the one you gave. "This is a 2.5 only driver" is simply incorrect. (If it was correct you'd get to delete the whole thing.) This is not a nak as I'm not the maintainer. But this patch just looks like churn with no justification. Perhaps I'm not the only one who can't see it. > Signed-off-by: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > Documentation/scsi/dc395x.rst | 4 ---- > 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/scsi/dc395x.rst b/Documentation/scsi/dc395x.rst > index c413b629809bcd..a6320561543650 100644 > --- a/Documentation/scsi/dc395x.rst > +++ b/Documentation/scsi/dc395x.rst > @@ -11,10 +11,6 @@ be safe to use.
