318 | What: read_dev_chars(), read_conf_data{,_lpm}() (s390 common I/O layer) | ||
319 | When: December 2007 | ||
320 | Why: These functions are a leftover from 2.4 times. They have several | ||
321 | problems: | ||
322 | - Duplication of checks that are done in the device driver's | ||
323 | interrupt handler | ||
324 | - common I/O layer can't do device specific error recovery | ||
325 | - device driver can't be notified for conditions happening during | ||
326 | execution of the function | ||
327 | Device drivers should issue the read device characteristics and read | ||
328 | configuration data ccws and do the appropriate error handling | ||
329 | themselves. | ||
