Another candidate for removal is drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.c

Everything I said about synclink.c/synclinkmp.c is true of that as well: the hardware stopped being manufactured decades ago and is not available for testing. The possibility of these cards still being around/functional for use with the latest kernel is about zero.

If Lee Jones does wants to add that to his patch, great. If not then I can do so.

(I resent this message in plain text after it was rejected for HTML, sorry if anyone got a duplicate.)
