Subject: [PATCH,RFC] Add configuration for availability of pata_platform
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 00:31:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070709233129.GA31114@trinity.fluff.org> (raw)
Repost of http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=118106594419762&w=2
Could someone comment on the following please:
Add a hidden configuration for an architecture or machine to
select to show that the pata_platform driver should be show
in the configuration.
This method is used to allow each individual machine/arch to
specify this, instead of creating large "depends on" on the
driver's Kconfig menu.
If this patch is acceptable, I will submit a patch to
move ARCH_RPC to select ARCH_HAS_PATA_PLATFORM.
