28 | What: PCI Name Database (CONFIG_PCI_NAMES) | ||
29 | When: July 2005 | ||
30 | Why: It bloats the kernel unnecessarily, and is handled by userspace better | ||

32 | pci.ids file in sync with the sf.net database all of the time. | ||

105 | What: register_serial/unregister_serial | ||
106 | When: September 2005 | ||
107 | Why: This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against | ||
108 | a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management | ||
109 | of such ports. 8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port | ||
