Subject: Remove "obsolete" label from ISDN4Linux
From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@xxxxxxx>
The "obsolete" label on the ISDN_I4L Kconfig option is not, and has never
been, accurate. It has already prompted repeated attempts to remove
actively used functionality from the kernel without a working replacement.
This patch removes the incorrect label and corrects the accompanying help
text.
