Hi all!
As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.
The config Variable USE_MIXARTLOADER has been non-existent for
all git based linux kernels (2.6.12-rc) and seems to be no longer
relevant. It is only referenced at one place in the Code
(sound/pci/mixart/mixart_hwdep.c).
The attached patch makes the behaviour more obvious as it is
equivalent to the old one when assuming CONFIG_MIXARTLOADER as not
defined.
Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.
Regards
Christoph Egger

Same is, of course, true for USE_PCXHRLOADER. Attached is a
patch doing the same for both of them.

Sorry, it seems I'm a bit unconcentrated today there are three
of them actually. Attached the new patch fixing all 3 of them.

Well, these all are basically hacks for building modules from the
external alsa-driver tree. Since this is fairly harmless, I'd like to
keep them.
