I think it is. # git grep GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO_DEPRECATED arch/ arch/sh/Kconfig: select GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO_DEPRECATED Though the question remains, whether this driver is actually used with sh platforms. If yes, then pushing the already existing change to Linus is the right way to go. If no, adding a "depends on !SH" is the simple fix to prevent this allmodconfig fallout. Another option is to ignore it :) I leave that up to Paul. > > The old functions are deprecated and masked by GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ > > > Are you sure it's that option and not GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO_DEPRECATED?
