    Revert "floppy: reintroduce O_NDELAY fix" · c7e9d002
    Denis Efremov authored
    The patch breaks userspace implementations (e.g. fdutils) and introduces
    regressions in behaviour. Previously, it was possible to O_NDELAY open a
    floppy device with no media inserted or with write protected media without
    an error. Some userspace tools use this particular behavior for probing.
    
    It's not the first time when we revert this patch. Previous revert is in
    commit f2791e7e (Revert "floppy: refactor open() flags handling").
    
    This reverts commit 8a0c014c
    
    .
