I don't know how I should understand your statement. Does this only
comment on my suggestion to send it to the patch system or on the patch
itself?

After Hans-Jürgen addressed your concerns about the order in
arch/arm/Kconfig compared to drivers/Kconfig there was no addional
feedback (apart from the discussion about including drivers/Kconfig in
arch/arm/Kconfig).

I consider the patch good until arch/arm/Kconfig includes
drivers/Kconfig (if ever).

As it is a while that the discussion took place, here is the thread in
the archive:

http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/thread/20080207.125824.348cd1bd.en.html

and the following post includes the last version of the patch:

Best regards
Uwe
