[PATCH 0/2] advansys: remove warning and mark Orphan

[Paul Bolle]

0) I've tried to get a trivial patch to the Advansys SCSI driver merged.
It silences a build time warning. See:
- November 2012: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/164 ;
- January 2013: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/144 ; and
- January 2014: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/8/569 .

That patch seems to be going nowhere. So a kernel build still generates
a warning when this driver is included. After seven years that is
getting pointless.

1) It seems that advansys is unmaintained. The last time its maintainer
touched it - by acking a patch - was in 2008, with commit 25729a7fb88e
("[SCSI] advansys, arcmsr, ipr, nsp32, qla1280, stex: use
pci_ioremap_bar()"). 

2) Fedora kernel people suggested to send this trivial patch to Andrew
Morton directly (see
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kernel/2014-January/004832.html ). They also suggested I'd mark this driver Orphan.

This small series does both.
