Message-ID: <tkrat.87d6ed22c225f448@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2009 01:36:53 +0100 (CET) From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@...6.in-berlin.de> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org cc: linux1394-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: [PATCH 5/5] firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.
