Sorry, for the delay, I was on vacation.
No, there is no depends on DEBUG_FS in the method that I am describing.
How that works is when DEBUG_FS is turned on then it's on for everything,
but when it's disabled it's disabled for everything. You do not need
the "depends on DEBUG_FS" and if you make this an option the it feels
like it should be a selects DEBUG_FS instead.
How this normally works is that when you have debugfs disabled, there
are dummy files in the debugfs .h files. I bet the compiler can tell
most of those are empty and removes them. So if you have DEBUG_FS then
it doesn't use that much more memory than when VIDEO_ZORAN_DEBUG is
disabled.
I don't know if I'm being clear at all #jetlag.
It should be easy to check. Just remove the "depends on DEBUG_FS" and
enable VIDEO_ZORAN_DEBUG. Disable DEBUG_FS. It should still build fine
because of the dummy functions. That's build 1. Then disable
VIDEO_ZORAN_DEBUG and that's build 2. See how much memory difference
there is between 1 and 2.

dan carpenter
