[PATCH] Remove "obsolete" label from ISDN4Linux (v3)

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

 



From: Tilman Schmidt <[email protected]>

The "obsolete" label on the ISDN_I4L Kconfig option is not, and
has never been, accurate. It has already prompted repeated attempts
to remove actively used functionality from the kernel without a
working replacement. This patch removes the incorrect label and
corrects the accompanying help text.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.
