You probably misunderstood my CVS log texts or may-be you were expected a
chinese version of the logs to also be made available.
There is no serious bug in the sym driver from March 4.0-RELEASE that
prevents it from working just fine for the SYM53C895 and probably for
everything different from the SYM53C1010-66. You may want to let me know
what is unclear for you in the output of `cvs log' since the RELEASE and I
will try to explain you what the change was intended to do. Btw, if the
driver had been as broken as you seem to think, for sure flooded with PRs
I would have been.
