Well, at this point I agree with Hans that being explicit here is
preferable.
I think you can implement the handler and irqcontrol functions static
inline. Then the need to statically compile uio goes away. And if all
uio_pdrv devices are registered in the same .c file you don't even have
a (binary) size penalty.

No, I definitely don't like that. Your last patch is completly
compatible with the current implementation. It only uses a situation
(i.e. registering a uio_pdrv with no handler) a feature. So
CONFIG_UIO_PDRV_USER_IRQ wouldn't break anything, only not having it.
So it should be enabled by default and then you don't need it.
(Note, this should not count as a +1 for implementing it without the
Kconfig symbol.)

... I started describing in detail my suggestion, but actually it's
easier to do the patch myself. So here it comes. Note it's not even
compile tested, but you should be able to get my intentions.
As a reply on this mail I will send a small cleanup patch that should
not conflict with any of the pending patches for uio.
Best regards
Uwe
