I have no objection against allowing disabling the PMC_ATOM Kconfig option. As for users breaking support for BYT/CHT setups because they forget to enable this, without X86_INTEL_LPSS being enabled BYT/CHT are pretty much broken anyways and since patch 2/4 adds a "select PMC_ATOM" to the X86_INTEL_LPSS Kconfig option I'm not really worried about that. I'm afraid this patch-set might break some randomconfig builds though, but I cannot see anything obviously causing such breakage here, so I think it would be fine to just merge this series as is and then see if we get any breakage reports. Andy, are you ok with me moving ahead and merging this series as is? Regards, Hans
