[Buildroot] Allowing hotplug and udev in the same root fs???

[Buildroot] Allowing hotplug and udev in the same root fs???

[Ulf Samuelsson]

Does it make sense to allow both Hotplug and udev?
Is it not so that you either have hotplug (real old...) or udev?

The following then would make sense.

Hmm, I thought udev and hotplug worked together.  Thought it
was something along the lines that hotplug would do the triggering
of driver module loading based on what new pci/usb ids showed up
on the system, since udev doesn't actually perform module loading
afaik.  Hotplug is/was also responsible for firmware loading, but
I'm not sure if that is true anymore ...

Truthfully, I can't provide much to this discussion as I haven't
really bothered to look into it for a while...
