/dev/sda disappearing with SYFS_DEPRECATED?

Hi all,

(please Cc)

I just changed my kernel config slightly to activate some DEPRECATED
configs and alas, the change was interesting, suddenly there
was no /dev/sda shown anymore.

Userspace remain completely the same (debian/sid up2date).

The only changes I made in the .config file was:
-# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set
+CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
+CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y

-CONFIG_NFSD_DEPRECATED=y
+# CONFIG_NFSD_DEPRECATED is not set

and this made the /dev/sda* entries disappear.

Is that to be expected?

Best wishes

Norbert
