Subject: [PATCH]: Fix Ultrastor asm snippet

Commit 1292500b replaced

"=m" (*field) : "1" (*field)

with

"=m" (*field) :

with comment "The following patch fixes it by using the '+' operator on
the (*field) operand, marking it as read-write to gcc."
'+' was actually forgotten. This really puts it.

Do you actually have the hardware or was this just a code audit?

I have the strong suspicion that this driver is pretty much dead and
bitrotting.

Just a code audit.

Most probably, yes.

There are a pile of scsi drivers like the Ultrastor that probably want
retiring via staging.

I can believe an AHA152x or two lurk around, and the odd NCR53c80 and
clones because they were so voluminous but the rest I doubt somewhat.

OK, can someone work out how we do this and then send the patch (I
assume it's just an update in the deprecated features and a move to
staging?)

Yes, got one ... and occasionally even test with it.
