That have to do with things that are in no way specific to your device, and therefore should be configured using generic kernel facilities. Using driver specific module parameters results in a poor user experience, because in order to make a configuration change the user has to know exactly what kind of device and driver is underneath, and then learn what the unique method is to make that configuration change. If you use a generic facility, the user only needs to learn one way to make a configuration change, regardless of device type and driver. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
