This entry adds needless complication to the driver as it requires the use of
global variables to be passed into via_get_info(), making things quite ugly
when we try and make this driver support multiple controllers simultaneously.

This patch removes /proc/via for simplicity.

Is similar data available from sysfs?

As a user of this controller, I think that if it is not then this patch
should be changed to export it or should be dropped. The data from that
file is really helpfull in debugging problems (for example related to bad
cables or breaking disks/cdroms).

Could you please give some details (which data is useful)?
