Subject: [RFC] staging: nvec: cannot configure to compile driver for testing

Hi,

to test the patch:

[PATCH v3] staging: nvec: Use x instead of x != NULL to improve readability.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/66804898.5d0a0220.6df0f.4f0a@mx.google.com/T/#u

I would like to compile the driver nvec. But the issue I have is that I 
cannot configure to compile it.


When start make menuconfig

and search with / for NVEC I can see:

Symbol: MFD_NVEC [=n] 
                                                        Type  : tristate 
 
                                        Defined at 
drivers/staging/nvec/Kconfig:2 
                                              Prompt: NV Tegra Embedded 
Controller SMBus Interface 
                              Depends on: STAGING [=y] && I2C [=y] && 
GPIOLIB [=y] && ARCH_TEGRA 
                Location: 
 
  -> Device Drivers 
                                                      (2)   -> Staging 
drivers (STAGING [=y])
	 -> NV Tegra Embedded Controller SMBus Interface (MFD_NVEC [=n])
Selects: MFD_CORE [=y] 


But I cannot jump or go into "NV Tegra Embedded Controller SMBus Interface"

In my .config file there is no string "NVEC" at all.

How to config this driver to be compiled?

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
