Although, given most of the other laptop drivers in drivers/misc use 'select' for various things, I don't see the harm here - unless anyone else has a great objection to acer-wmi and tc1100-wmi having 'select ACPI_WMI'? -Carlos -- E-Mail: carlos@...angeworlds.co.uk Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
