Since there are only two options that prompt the user, I'm asking if there is a reason the user needs to be prompted. I not, we can just remove the prompts and simplify the config. If there is a valid reason to prompt the user, then we may need to add a menu, but I'd probably prefer we add the option in the platform menu, rather then generate a new driver menu. thanks -john -- 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/
