Hi,

What is CONFIG_OF? I see that it is being widely used at many places but
could not understand in what scenarios i need to use it. There is no help
documentation available in kconfig for this.

Best Regards,
Manty

This option will let you know whether you would like to leverage support of
Device tree or not ?

Thank you all. I got it. Generally naming in kernel is very precise but in
this case I feel it is little confusing. Thank you again.
