i just want to clarify how to identify how much can be deleted when
looking at a combination of source files, header files, a Makefile and
a Kconfig file.
consider sound/oss/dmasound/Makefile:
==========
dmasound_pmac-y += dmasound_awacs.o \
trans_16.o dac3550a.o tas_common.o \
tas3001c.o tas3001c_tables.o \
tas3004.o tas3004_tables.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DMASOUND_ATARI) += dmasound_core.o dmasound_atari.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DMASOUND_PMAC) += dmasound_core.o dmasound_pmac.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DMASOUND_PAULA) += dmasound_core.o dmasound_paula.o
obj-$(CONFIG_DMASOUND_Q40) += dmasound_core.o dmasound_q40.o
==========
now, there is no longer any CONFIG_DMASOUND_PMAC Kconfig variable,
so i'm assuming that i can remove that one line from the Makefile, as
well as the source file dmasound_pmac.c. so far, easy.
in addition, i'm not *entirely* familiar with how a variable of the
form "dmasound_pmac-y" is processed, but i'm assuming that, since
dmasound_pmac.c no longer exists, any corresponding source files in
that list that aren't also referenced elsewhere can also be deleted.
(in this case, it appears to be the entire list.)
does that make sense? this would remove the vast majority of that
entire directory, but that looks like the logical conclusion based on
what i see.
thoughts?
