[PATCH 0/7] tty: synclink_gt: mark as BROKEN
Posted by Jiri Slaby (SUSE) 2 years, 6 months ago
I did some cleanups in the driver (in this series), but then decided not
to go on and mark the driver as BROKEN instead. See the last patch for
explanation.

Feel free to take only the last patch. I don't assume anyone appears to
take care of the driver, so we will drop it sooner or later anyway. The
changes only demonstrate how unmaintained the driver is...

Jiri Slaby (SUSE) (7):
  tty: synclink_gt: convert CALC_REGADDR() macro to an inline
  tty: synclink_gt: drop global slgt_driver_name array
  tty: synclink_gt: define global strings as const strings
  tty: synclink_gt: drop info messages from init/exit functions
  tty: synclink_gt: use PCI_VDEVICE
  tty: synclink_gt: make default_params const
  tty: synclink_gt: mark as BROKEN

I'll take them all, thanks for them, as I don't want to waste the work
you did here.  We can schedule this for deletion in a few releases as I
doubt anyone will care :(

thanks,
