Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] docs/system/deprecated: Fix note on fdc drive properties
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 08:52:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210311075221.1795266-2-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210311075221.1795266-1-armbru@redhat.com>
Commit 4a27a638e7 "fdc: Deprecate configuring floppies with -global
isa-fdc" actually deprecated any use of floppy controller driver
properties, not just with -global. Correct the deprecation note
accordingly.
Fixes: 4a27a638e718b445648de6b27c709353551d9b44
