Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 07:54:48 +0200 From: Peter Rosin <peda@...ntia.se> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Rosin <peda@...ntia.se>, Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>, Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH] mux: remove the Kconfig question for the subsystem The MULTIPLEXER question in the Kconfig might be confusing and is of dubious value. Remove it. This makes consumers responsible for selecting MULTIPLEXER, which they already do. Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda@...ntia.se> --- drivers/mux/Kconfig | 15 +++------------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Hi Linus! My thinking was that I wanted it to be possible to select mux drivers before any mux consumer was selected. I also wanted to avoid one question for each of the mux drivers when the whole thing is not needed most of the time... But ok, is something like this what you wanted?
