From acc8dadc0b3f007e6e60da77feb2efe2a19c5cda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joern Engel Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 22:54:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Remove blkmtd Remove the blkmtd driver. - An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had bug report for > 1 year. - Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts them too much. - It's in the way of klibc. The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly substantial. At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.
