Re: [PATCH] New include file for marking old style api files

Jiri Slaby napsal(a):

Hi.
Do you think, that this would be useful in the kernel tree?
I have an idea to mark old drivers, which should I or somebody rewrite.
For example drivers/isdn/hisax/gazel.c.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

diff --git a/include/linux/oldapi.h b/include/linux/oldapi.h
new file mode 100644
--- /dev/null
+++ b/include/linux/oldapi.h
@@ -0,0 +1,2 @@
+#warning This driver uses old style API and needs to be rewritten or removed \
+	from kernel

Maybe this would be better (license and comments added).
