It is redundant only if you _intend_ to use both drivers. But its usually a bad idea to have multiple drivers serving the single device simultaneously. The other way of thinking about it, is that you simply use a new driver instead of an old one. The new one does everything the old one did and more. Since they can't be built together, the redundancy is then only in a source code. I am not saying it is an ideal solution. It is not, but for only a single reason - people who need only beeps, may not want to have the entire sound subsystem loaded. So they want pcspkr to be at least built. But getting these drivers back together again, suddenly became very problematic... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
