Subject: [PATCH] Obsolete config in kernel source (USE_MIXARTLOADER)

Hi all!

	As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

	The config Variable USE_MIXARTLOADER has been non-existent for
all git based linux kernels (2.6.12-rc) and seems to be no longer
relevant. It is only referenced at one place in the Code
(sound/pci/mixart/mixart_hwdep.c).

	The attached patch makes the behaviour more obvious as it is
equivalent to the old one when assuming CONFIG_MIXARTLOADER as not
defined.

	Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

	Christoph Egger
