There have been numerous discussions about fixing it. The warning comes out of here in drivers/base/driver.c: if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) || (drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) || (drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown)) printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use " "bus_type methods\n", drv->name); The problem is that SCSI drivers have both: SCSI uses the bus methods to trigger the probe and remove (as it must having a bus method) but it also uses the individual struct driver probe and remove methods to rethrow the events to the ULDs. According to Kay and Greg, this is a legitimate way of operating, and they're not going to remove the driver methods (otherwise we'd just take them into struct scsi_driver), so we're stuck trying to find a way to prevent the base warning about this.
