After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this
driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and
whether it warranted fixing. In the Kconfig help text, I found:
"This driver will eventually be phased out entirely"
Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2]
in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---> v2.4.2.2
So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases
since then, I think we can justify removing this. Currently we have
people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then
wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to
find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it.
A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it.
If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year
old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable
that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.

The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.
This commit removes the MCA specific SCSI drivers, and the
MCA specific portions of code in dual role ISA/MCA drivers.
Also, the MCA specific SCSI documentation is removed.

This patch adds support for Universal Flash Storage(UFS)
host controllers. The UFS host controller driver
includes host controller initialization method.
The Initialization process involves following steps:
- Initiate UFS Host Controller initialization process by writing
to Host controller enable register
- Configure UFS Host controller registers with host memory space
datastructure offsets.
- Unipro link startup procedure
- Check for connected device
- Configure UFS host controller to process requests
- Enable required interrupts
- Configure interrupt aggregation

This patch adds Documentation/scsi/scs_eh.txt. I've chosen plain

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
