This entry adds needless complication to the driver as it requires the use of

This patch removes /proc/via for simplicity.

Is similar data available from sysfs?

As a user of this controller, I think that if it is not then this patch should be changed to export it or should be dropped. The data from that file is really helpfull in debugging problems (for example related to bad cables or breaking disks/cdroms).


Thanks,
