I assume you are talking about this part of a patch:

Let me explain what I am doing here. I am NOT deleting ahd_intstat_print
definition, I am moving it below the #endif which terminates big
#if 0 /* unused */  block, moving to this place:

#if 0 / #endif block ends up containing definitions of 290 functions/macros,
none of which is EVER used. I used this script (below) and verified that
they are never mentioned anywhere outside of *_shipped files.
I also did test builds with and without debug enabled and they build
with no problems. No undefined references!

I got the following output:
./aic79xx_reg.h_shipped:2
./aic79xx_reg_print.c_shipped:1
./aic79xx_reg.h_shipped:2
./aic79xx_reg_print.c_shipped:1
...
...

which means that these functions are defined but never referenced.

(Yes, patch similarly ifdefs out function definitions in aic79xx_reg_print.c_shipped)

I tried this approach. But running aic assembler doesn't seem
to regenerate _shipped files.

I built kernel with the following options and none of the *_shipped
files change (in fact, no source file changes):

# CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=8
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE=y   <============
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_MASK=0
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_REG_PRETTY_PRINT=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX=y
CONFIG_AIC79XX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=8
CONFIG_AIC79XX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000
CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE=y  <============
CONFIG_AIC79XX_DEBUG_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_AIC79XX_DEBUG_MASK=0
CONFIG_AIC79XX_REG_PRETTY_PRINT=y
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC94XX=m
CONFIG_AIC94XX_DEBUG=y

(full .config is attached)

I also grepped through the directory and found no rules in Makefiles
which regenerate _shipped files.

If you know how to regenerate them, please let me know.

Any other objections to the patch?
