From 569d138fc4a08e36b48b818ea007675629eb46b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: H Hartley Sweeten Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 11:29:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: pcl818: remove pcl818_check() This function is a _very_ simplified probe that tried to verify that the driver is being attached to a PCL-818 compatible board. The function simply writes some values to specific registers then reads back the values to see if they are the same. It's possible that the user could try to attach this driver to a non- compatible board but the check would still pass depending on the register map of the board. Just remove the buggy function to simplify the attach a bit.
