[PATCH] drivers/scsi/wd7000.c: check_region -> request_region (241p9)

2001-01-23 Thread Rasmus Andersen
Hi. The following patch makes drivers/scsi/wd7000.c use request_region instead of check_region+request_region. It also drops a panic() and changes error paths to be forward gotos (in part necessary by the request_region change). It applies cleanly against ac10 and 241p9. Comments? ---
