This is actually not about the wiki, but about the programmers. now that we have combined usb and pci device entries and put them together in a union with a char *note, i wonder why we have the union at all. the note might be very handy for normal programmers too (e.g. nvidia does not support writing, but this is not documented prominently...). It would also get rid of the annoying non-anonymous union... :)
I think "note" is a misnomer and has the wrong type. A single string for an entire driver is not a good idea, as can be witnessed with the recent rayer_spi patches.
If you want to get rid of that union and have one combined dev_entry for USB/PCI and other programmers, why not? The "type" parameter of ft2232_spi could end up in there as well.
Suggestions welcome.
