Linus,
That said, I wonder if the solution to this particular driver is "delete it". Because the hardware is truly ancient and nobody sane would use it any more.
I'm not aware of anybody actively using these anymore. They are mid-nineties vintage with an M68K processor onboard. I ran a couple of these when they were new but haven't had a working board in probably a decade. No objections to Salvatore's patch but I have a slight affinity for retiring unused code over patching it. So unless there are objections... -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
