Subject: Re: [PATCH] OSS trident: switch from ->write_proc

Thanks Alexey, some comments below. This patch is a step in the right
direction but I'm afraid it's currently broken.

This is not enough--we need to also remove the proc_entry if
trident_probe() fails (see label `out_proc_fs'), which will require
checking if proc_create_data() succeeded. Please send an updated patch
or let me know and I'll take care of it.

Also, I no longer have working trident hardware---if someone else does
and can test this, please let me know. Otherwise we can should
probably go ahead and remove this old OSS driver.

Cheers,
Muli
