I don't really like implicit dependencies and IMO showing them in the Kconfig makes the life easier for someone who wants to understand what gets compiled or not when reading the code. Even if that means to modify a couple of Kconfig. It is a preference and thus I don't have a strong opinion on that, so if nobody is against I will resend a patch moving this option out of the CPU_IDLE dep. Thanks -- Daniel -- Linaro.org ?
