Subject: [PATCH Resend] Remove 'SBC8240 Wind River' Device Driver Code

Hi,

Linux next tree(20090626) produced the following build error:

CC [M] drivers/mtd/maps/sbc8240.o
drivers/mtd/maps/sbc8240.c:31:1: warning: "DEBUG" redefined

drivers/mtd/maps/sbc8240.c:177: error: 'struct mtd_info' has no member named 'module'

make[2]: *** [drivers/mtd/maps] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/mtd] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

I remember reporting this back in April, when it was suggested to remove
the code as it is no more used:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/21/476,

I tried to gather some more info about this driver from the link
mentioned in Kconfig:
http://www.windriver.com/products/sbc8240/,
without much success.

The original author of this driver code has no problem, as she has
expressed by the following mail:

Last time i did not address: [email protected]. If there are
no issues, can you please apply this patch to remove it ?

I do not think so. I'm not MTD maintainer and in l2-mtd-2.6.git
I just collect random patches, which the maintainer then usually
takes from my tree.

Thanks. I just want this through before 2.6.31 stable is released, so
that the build fails does not occur on next trees based on that stable
one.

Hmmm. I see.

Hi dwmw2,

Is it possible to get this patch through and before 2.6.31 stable is
released ?

Hm, I was ignoring this until I was sure all the last-minute fixes for
2.6.31 were out of the way; I was planning to submit it for 2.6.32.

Do we really need to submit it for 2.6.31? It's not a regression, is it?
It's been like this for _ages_.

True. But it gives annoying build fails on randconfig next trees. And
we(Sachin & myself) has been reporting it from March/April. If you feel
there is still room to be pushed to 2.6.31, then please do it. Else,
2.6.32 will be fine. Thanks for your support.
