[...] Thanks for pointing out that this is obsolete. However, as this is a code comment, not user visible documentation, I don't think it's something that we should be tracking in the Debian BTS. I suggest that you submit a patch to the upstream maintainers to update the comment - or maybe remove this code completely. As I can't see any users of /proc/bus/pnp in Debian, I'll now disable CONFIG_PNPBIOS_PROC_FS.
