Subject: linux-2.6.37-rc8: EEPROM_93CX6 which has unmet direct dependencies
 (MISC_DEVICES)

Hi,
  I just went to check the current kernel for fun on my old P4-M based laptop.
I got the following message.

# DISTCC_HOSTS='' make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig

# configuration written to .config

  I did even try to run make menuconfig and poke around but in the end am
still hitting this warning. I will actually disable the EEPROM_93CX6 as
a whole but maybe you care about why that happens. My .config is attached.


Happy New Year!
Martin
