staging: wilc1000: WILC1000_DYNAMICALLY_ALLOCATE_MEMROY

[Stanislav Kholmanskikh]

Hi!

I noticed that drivers/staging/wilc1000/Kconfic defines:

config WILC1000_DYNAMICALLY_ALLOCATE_MEMROY
        bool "Dynamically allocate memory in real time"
        ---help---
          This choice supports dynamic allocation of the memory
          for the receive buffer. The driver will allocate the RX buffer
          when it is required.


"MEMROY" looks suspicious. Is it a typo (MEMORY?) or by intent?

Thanks!

Probably a typo, but be sure to see if it lines up with what the code
expects before changing anything.

Ideally in the end this option should be removed as the driver should
only do dynamic allocation, no static allocation should be needed.

[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: typo in WILC1000_DYNAMICALLY_ALLOCATE_MEMROY

[Stanislav Kholmanskikh]

Looking at the code, it seems that "MEMROY" in the config option
name is a typo. It should be "MEMORY" instead.

Changed the config option name accordingly.

Just delete it and delete -DWILC_NORMAL_ALLOC as well.

[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: remove WILC1000_DYNAMICALLY_ALLOCATE_MEMROY

[Stanislav Kholmanskikh]

The config option in the subject may be removed, because,
indeed, it only serves as the 'n' value for
CONFIG_WILC1000_PREALLOCATE_AT_LOADING_DRIVER

Hm, why have this now?  Both of these options should go away, please
work on fixing up the code to not need them and then delete the options,
right now you are just deleting config options which doesn't seem wise.

thanks,

I agree with Greg's opinion. The team is now restructuring the driver and they will be removed and changed.

Thanks for your valuable opinion,

Tony.

These parts will be wholly changed but I need to get important driver updates. It will be done soon.

Thanks for your review,

Tony.
