[RFC v4 03/25] m68k/atari: Move Atari-specific code out of drivers/char/nvram.c

[Michael Schmitz]

Hi Christian,

here's what Finn asked me to run as tests:

# dmesg | grep this_id > nvram.out
# cat /proc/driver/nvram >> nvram.out
# hexdump -C /dev/nvram >> nvram.out
# cp /dev/nvram /tmp/nvram
# cp /tmp/nvram /dev/nvram
# md5sum /dev/nvram /tmp/nvram >> nvram.out

What you sent so far looks OK. I've tested the change of SCSI ID
(using EmuTOS) along with a trivial patch to atari_scsi.c (replace
offset 14 by 16) and the driver now uses the stored ID properly. I'll
sent kernels to test Finn's NVRAM patch for regression ASAP.

Thanks for your offer of help!

Cheers,

  Michael
