Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fbdev: annotate rivafb/nvidiafb as obsolete
Date: Sun, 17 May 2020 22:05:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200517220524.4036334-1-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.

v2 (Bartlomiej):
 - split config changes into separate patch
 - spell out nouveau DRM driver
 - don't use BROKEN
 - add runtime warning
