It depends on L3 support from 2.4 kernel (CONFIG_L3) that never got merged into mainline. Since there's no way to use it on any of supported machines (iPaq h3100 or h3600), better drop it for now. It can be reimplemented later using ASoC infrastructure (there's already a driver for uda1341 codec in mainline, so only CPU and machine parts need to be written).
Yay, someone finally removing this.
I never saw this going in, but when I read through it, it was totally iPAQ specific. Having seen soo much effort put in to the OSS driver to make it flexible, have the iPAQ people use that, and then write their own ALSA specific driver irked the people who contributed to the OSS driver, to the extent that the OSS support was ripped out. (So I have platforms here were there _was_ full sound support but with the advent of ALSA, lost all sound support.) It was certainly a sad day when this driver was merged.
The lesson of today: upstream first :-)
