Subject: Re: [PATCH libata/for-3.15-fixes] libata: drop COMPILE_TEST from AHCI_XGENE
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 12:36:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140402163645.GD16631@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140402162215.GC16631@htj.dyndns.org>

Hello, Kishon.

I'm converting AHCI_XGENE to depend on PHY_XGENE instead of selecting
it as dependency chaining through select doesn't work.  Looking at the
PHY Kconfig options, I wonder whether we're going about this the right
way.  Are PHY drivers meaningful at all w/o higher level drivers
making use of them?  If not, why do we even have visible Kconfig opts
for them?  Shouldn't we just chain everything through selects and
float the actual dependencies to the higher level drivers which the
users actually care about?

Thanks.
