psb_gfx removal

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


I have here a "Wortmann AG terra Pad 1051", which has a GMA500-like 
device (PCI ID 8086:4102). Using Linux 3.1.x (openSUSE 12.1's default), 
loading psb_gfx.ko crashed the machine. I therefore tried Linux 3.4.0,
where this crash does not occur thankfully.

According to your commit b7cdd9e6323af368e26121c5b791eddc78e79fea, 
GMA500 is now available through the DRM tree. I take it you mean 
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/gma500_gfx.ko by that. However, 
gma500_gfx.ko does not provide support for 8086:4102, i.e. modinfo does 
not show the alias.

So, am I correct in the assumption that the 4102 code never really 
worked, and deletion of psb_gfx was therefore ok without having 4102 
support in gma500_gfx?


thanks,
Jan
