Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more information X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=-16.8, required 5, autolearn=not spam, ALL_TRUSTED -1.80, BAYES_00 -15.00, INIT_RECVD_OUR_AUTH -20.00, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL 20.00) X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner-From: rpjday@mindspring.com Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org given that: 1) drivers/Makefile doesn't even have an entry for the acorn/ subdirectory, and 2) the Makefile drivers/acorn/char/Makefile is incorrect anyway, since it contains: obj-$(CONFIG_L7200_KEYB) += defkeymap-l7200.o keyb_l7200.o which refers to a non-existent source file keyb_l7200.c, and it's based on a non-existent config variable on top of that. it certainly seems that that entire subdirectory can be tossed. and if that happens, then the config variables defined in drivers/acorn/block/Kconfig: config BLK_DEV_FD1772 config BLK_DEV_MFM config BLK_DEV_MFM_AUTODETECT would also vanish, which suggests that any references to *them* could also be deleted: $ grep -r BLK_DEV_FD1772 * arch/arm26/defconfig:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772 is not set arch/arm26/machine/dma.c:#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772_MODULE) arch/arm26/machine/dma.c:#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD1772_MODULE) ... anyway, you get the idea. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
