(v3 is rt2070, not rt3070, though.) I guess I have two questions: (1) are the 3 variants labelled in that way as such v1/v2/v3 (on the box, or one of the USB device identity queries)? (2) are they distinguished by different product IDs? The point is that the commit (which only changes the help message) is only appropriate if they are labelled as v1/v2/v3 and not distinguished by different product IDs. If they are distinguished by different product IDs and the current codes for the three drivers bind correctly to each, then the change is only relevant to people who manually build their kernel and want to build one driver but not the others. (i.e. instead of distros which ship the full set of driver modules). Which goes to my first question... if they are not labelled v1/v2/v3 as such, it may be more useful/informative to change to [some variant of ] ... [(other variants are supported by the rt2070/rt3070 modules)] instead of just adding [v2] to the end. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
