You could just remove this driver completely as well. Because practically since
it's inclusion in to the main stream kernel it has been outdated and nonfunctioning.

1. Formerly the actually usable driver has actually maintained under the URL data you remove.
2. Nobody ever cared to synchronize the maintained driver and the in kernel one.
3. The physical recording format in the driver provided with the kernel is broken.
4. Right now the corresponding user space tools can't be found on the web any longer.
5. I'm not talking about years. Its more then 5 years in this case.
