kernel 2.6.0, wrong Kconfig directives

Hi folks,

Installing 2.6.0 I've found that some kernel options directives are wrong,
in fact the option turns out to be always enabled. I don't think this is
a desired behaviour.

Sorry for the format, yes I know it's ugly :) but I'll leave to you the proper
solution :) so I can't make a proper patch.

- IPV6_SCTP___ option is always turned on

./net/sctp/Kconfig:

8: config IPV6_SCTP__
9: tristate
10: default y if IPV6=n
11: default IPV6 if IPV6
12:
13: config IP_SCTP
14: tristate "The SCTP Protocol (EXPERIMENTAL)"
15: depends on IPV6_SCTP__

I think something is wrong here, why the 'default y if IPV6=n' ???

- INPUT_MOUSEDEV option is always turned on

./drivers/input/Kconfig:

27: config INPUT_MOUSEDEV
28: tristate "Mouse interface" if EMBEDDED
29: default y
30: depends on INPUT

43: config INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX
44: bool "Provide legacy /dev/psaux device" if EMBEDDED
45: default y
46: depends on INPUT_MOUSEDEV

the tristate directive is ignored in most default configurations since EMBEDDED
is not set, however this doesn't allow to disable INPUT_MOUSEDEV and
INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX. I don't suppose this is right.

- SOUND_GAMEPORT option is always turned on

./drivers/input/gameport/Kconfig

22: config SOUND_GAMEPORT
23: tristate
24: default y if GAMEPORT!=m
25: default m if GAMEPORT=m

line 24 is definetly wrong, option is enabled if GAMEPORT=n.

Bye
