Subject: Default Kconfig state for hw_random drivers
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:42:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120426114229.GG3207@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 443 bytes --]

An Atmel hw_random driver just appeared in -next.  Since it's just a
regular platform device it has no dependencies on any particular
platform so following the behaviour of other hw_random drivers it's set
to default enabled if hw_random is enabled, even on non-Atmel platforms.

This doesn't feel like the right thing to do - it'd mean that most of
the embedded RNGs would end up getting enabled by default which probably
isn't what we want.
