Subject: |PATCH] fbdev: Remove outdated advice about I2C configuration
Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 17:21:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090508172100.1f010efc@hyperion.delvare> (raw)
The required I2C modules are now selected automatically by the means
of select statements in Kconfig, so there is no point in confusing the
users with options he/she would be supposed to enable manually.
