Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: annotate rivafb/nvidiafb as obsolete
Date: Wed, 13 May 2020 21:53:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200513215342.2145495-1-emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> (raw)

Drivers have not seen any love for years.

Be that fixes or improvements, or cosmetics like introducing symbolic
names, style and code-flow polish.

Seemingly the maintainer has also disappeared years ago :-\

Considering nouveau supports all that hardware (modulo nv03) just mark
these as obsolete/broken, referring to nouveau in the help text.
