Francois has problems with linux-2.1.92 using a ncr53c875 chip.
Could the third party, who has been so ashamed of having done
ncr53c8xx driver changes in 2.1.92 that he decided not to inform
the maintainer prior to send them to Linus, help Francois to fix
his problem, please ?
Gerard, I know just like you how it feels when a change is made to the
kernel for something I maintain. However in this case I ask that you
are a little bit more understanding about the situation.
I looked at the changes to the NCR drivers in 2.1.92, and after having
studing them quite a bit, there should be zero change in behavior in
2.1.92 on PC hardware at all. All of the changes made it work on the
alpha, and changed port address manipulations to use a long type
instead of an int.
Ask this person to try 2.1.91, if things act differently, then you
have reason to be very concerned about the changes.
Later,
David S. Miller
