Subject: [PATCH][RFC] drivers/Kconfig
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 17:20:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030923152032.GA16599@lst.de> (raw)
What do people think about creating a common drivers/Kconfig
that includes the drivers/*/Kconfig files? This saves quite
a few superflous Kconfig lines and is a natural way to avoid
the architectyures going out of sync. Yes, this requires
every driver having proper bus-depencies but we should be
almost there already.
Sample patch (for ppc, i386 and x86_64) attached.
