In dc395x, eata_pio, in2000, lpfc, megaraid_legacy, megaraid_mbox, megaraid_sas, mesh, ncr53c8xx, qla1280, qla4xxx, wd33c93 and i2o_scsi use it in printks only, and all this can be safely removed. Except for EH that only leaves dpt_i2o, eata, mpt2sas, u14-34f, mptscsi as non-trivial users. If you sort out the EH side I'll volunteer to kill the printks and add private serial numbers to the five drivers mentioned above. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
