Subject: Re: disfunctional floppy driver in kernels 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7

On my first message I stated:

 It looks to me that the code in floppy.c is quite old; no changes here.
 So the bug is elsewhere in the kernel.

That was because the changelog at the beginning of floppy.c ended in 2003.
Wouln't it be wise to keep these items updated?

Groeten, Wim.
