Subject: [PATCH] HOTPLUG: always enable the .config option, unless EMBEDDED
Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2006 16:49:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11364221692430@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1136422169909@kroah.com>

[PATCH] HOTPLUG: always enable the .config option, unless EMBEDDED

With modules, dynamic /dev, and uevents, people really want
CONFIG_HOTPLUG to be enabled in their kernels.  If not, they can still
disable it, but it is discouraged.
