[patch 2.6.14-rc4 3/3] Documentation: add sk98lin to the feature-removal-schedule

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The sk98lin and skge drivers cover the same set of hardware, yet the
sk98lin driver is barely maintained.  This patch schedules sk98lin
for removal early next year.

+What:	sk98lin driver
+When:	April 2006
+Why:	This driver has been essentially unmaintained for some time.
+	Internally it is a mess, and the original authors are unwilling to
+	correct it.  Now the skge driver covers all the same hardware.
