Paul,
I didn't include CONFIG_B4860G100 in Kconfig in original patch set, since programming FPGA method can vary in different system, and this was discussed during the review with Greg as well.

However, actual fpga programming method is well contained in io.c with ifdef-ed CONFIG_B4860G100, now I think I might better to update Kconfig to include CONFIG_B4860G100.

Greg, what do you think? Any harm to add custom board CONFIG* to staging Kconfig? Let me know.

I looked at it, and thank you for pointing that out.
They can be removed, as Greg said, patches are welcome :), or let me know if you are busy, then I can do that.

Thank you,
