0) I've tried to get a trivial patch to the Advansys SCSI driver merged. It silences a build time warning. See: - November 2012: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/164 ; - January 2013: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/144 ; and - January 2014: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/8/569 . That patch seems to be going nowhere. So a kernel build still generates a warning when this driver is included. After seven years that is getting pointless. 1) It seems that advansys is unmaintained. The last time its maintainer touched it - by acking a patch - was in 2008, with commit 25729a7fb88e ("[SCSI] advansys, arcmsr, ipr, nsp32, qla1280, stex: use pci_ioremap_bar()"). 2) Fedora kernel people suggested to send this trivial patch to Andrew Morton directly (see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kernel/2014-January/004832.html ). They also suggested I'd mark this driver Orphan. This small series does both.
