[PATCH v3] fusion: remove dead MTRR code

[PATCH v3] fusion: remove dead MTRR code

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

If and when this gets enabled the driver could should split
up IO memory space properly and that is quite a bit of work.
Just remove the uncommented dead MTRR code then.

There are a few motivations for this:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture specific and on
   x86 its replaced by PAT

c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
   _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
   de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
   use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
   pci_mmap_page_range()")

Hey folks, who's tree should this go through if agreeable?

OK its been over 1 month without any replies on this patch which just
removes commented out code.

All the maintainers below bounce and the only e-mail not bouncing is
for Sreekanth Reddy <sreekanth.reddy@avagotech.com>, he hasn't been
seen active on linux-next since Jan 12 2015 when he did a driver bump
for mpt2sas to 20.100.00.00.

What's going on folks? And can this patch go in?

OK so Avago bought Broadcom.

Does that impact how Avago will contribute to the Linux kernel? It has
been well over 1 month and I haven't seen any reply from Avago folks.

Andrew, is the silence sufficient enough reason for this patch to go
instead through your tree?

[Sreekanth Reddy]

Hi Luis,

Sorry for delay in response. Actually I was looking for the history of
this section of code but I couldn't find it. Anyway this is dead code
and we are fine with removing this dead code.

James,

Please consider this patch as Acked-by: "Sreekanth Reddy"
<Sreekanth.reddy@avagotech.com>

Sreekanth

Great thanks, now who's tree should this patch go through? Last patch for this

take it can it go through Andrew's tree?

Sreekanth, can you also update the MAINTAINERS file to reflect recent changes
at your company ?
