From: Bagas Sanjaya
Date: Wed May 10 2023 - 05:40:52 EST


A small stale reference cleanup series for DC395x driver. The shortlog
below should be self-explanatory.

This series is based on fixes branch of scsi tree.

Changes since v1 [1]:
* Do not explicitly mention linux-scsi list in MAINTAINERS
* Keep the attribution to the 2.4 driver but reword it to remove mention
to 2.5/2.6 version
* Use web.archive.org snapshot of 2.4 driver link.

- The 2.4 driver link returns 404. As no one runs 2.4 kernel anymore,
- remove the stale reference.
+ The Linux kernel isn't in 2.6.x anymore, but rather the major version
+ has advanced much (currently 6.x). Reword the attribution.

+ Also, replace 404'ed 2.4 driver link with web.archive.org snapshot [1].
