Only the PPC-based gemini board uses that driver (ncr885e) and Val is the maintainer of that board. These patches that she sent fix yellowfin.c for the ncr885e chip on the big-endian PPC. I just pointed at the junk pile, Val is actually doing the work to put the ncr885e drivers there.
This is a truly rare patch, it allows the removal of entire drivers not just a few lines. As an encore I suggest combining the >5 Zilog 8530 drivers.
} I may be missing some context... have you tested yellowfin on big endian } boxes? If so, go ahead and remove it. Cort said it was destined for } the scrapheap a while ago, and IIRC it disappeared from the 'ac' tree } for a while... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
