Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/3] fix a couple of atm->phy_data related issues

Hi Tong,

Is this direct-assigned hardware or is QEMU being used to emulate the
hardware here? Admittedly I don't know that much about ATM, so I am
not sure when/if those phys would have gone out of production. However
since the code dates back to 2005 I am guessing it is on the old side.

Ultimately the decision is up to Chas. However if there has been code
in place for this long that would trigger this kind of null pointer
dereference then it kind of points to the fact that those phys have
probably not been in use since at least back when Linus switched over
to git in 2005.

Thanks,

- Alex
