This patchset includes one controversial patch, titled: pcmcia: disable pcmcia ioctl for !ARM, prepare for removal Most notably, Russell King objects to it for reasons spelled out e.g. at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/27/291 . I suspect the platform he is referring to actually does work with the PCMCIA ioctl disabled; Russell's offer from 2008 to "spend some time [...] working out what it requires from the ioctl interface - maybe we can have a cut-down ioctl interface that bolts straight on as an "add on" to the new controls without being too invasive, while still allowing its PCMCIA bits to work." (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2008-April/005450.html) hasn't lead to any result so far; he has indicated he won't get to spending time on it soon. Because of the lack of progress in this regard, and for the other reasons spelled out in the patch, I picked up Alan's suggestion to "[...] push[ing] it. If it matters someone will then fix up the problem platform. If it isn't pushed then it lets one obscure platform stall progress for everyone else." (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2008-April/005453.html) Please pull from that location insofar as you agree to continue with the deprecation of the PCMCIA ioctl. Otherwise, I can prepare a branch _without_ this controversial patch to pull from.
