Beyond > that (and if ojn can also be appeased) I can probably be convinced. :-) Hi Grant, How to deal with a situation where I need a particular PHY driver from libphy compiled in the kernel for one of the MPC5200 boards? Adding it to mpc5200_defconfig doesn't seem like a right thing to do. How to convince you (and appease ojn) to accept a patch that adds a board-specific defconfig that only slightly differs from mpc5200_defconfig? :) Regards, Bartlomiej
