[patch 2.6.14-rc4 3/3] Documentation: add sk98lin to the feature-removal-schedule

From: John W. Linville <hidden>
Date: 2005-10-19 01:38:51
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

The sk98lin and skge drivers cover the same set of hardware, yet the
sk98lin driver is barely maintained.  This patch schedules sk98lin
for removal early next year.
