Subject: [PATCH] pci: add kernel config option for disabling common PCI quirks

From: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@...nwrt.org>

These quirks do not effect small small plastic routers. These routers tend
to have very little flash space. This patch adds a new option that allows
us to build a kernel without including the common quirks, thus saving us
valuable flash space.

When building an image for a MIPS/Ralink router with this option enabled
it will reduce the size of an uncompressed uImage by 12KB.

Hi Bjorn,

This patch has been lingering inside the OpenWrt for some years. I am not
sure if this is the best way to remove the quirks from the build. Let me
know if you prefer a different way of solving this.
