tx4938 and tx4939 ide drivers
Hi all,
the tx4938 and tx4939 legacy ide drivers are some of the few that do not have libata equivalents, which is a bad thing given that CONFIG_IDE is planned to go away this year. Are there any users of this hardware left, and if yes willing to help with the move to libata?
Note that these drivers are pretty strange in that they were only added in 2008, which was long after the ide driver subsystems has been deprecated.

I think nobody use these drivers now.

removal of these drivers does not break the only known user of TX49 boards. (i.e. Mr. Geert Uytterhoeven)
