scx200.c in arch/i386/kernel

Hi,

I just compiled 2.4.21-pre1 for a consistency check with all configure options set to 'y' and found a file arch/i386/kernel/scx200.c which does not compile because of missing support in the Makefile. It is introduced by the 2.4.21-pre1 patch by Marcelo.

Is there a reason why it's in the kernel directory of the i386 architecture? This is a very unusual place.

I moved it to drivers/char/scx200.c and it compiles like a charme, after correcting the Makefiles. Is there any chance of moving it to from the arch directory to a more appropriate place? Or did I misunderstand?

I don't know the scx200 Nat Sem chips, I don't have one and I don't even care, it's just because I'm doing some thorough build checks on my new -jp kernel patch set.

Best regards,

Jörg
