Well yes, but that's not a reason not to fix it. For example, think about people doing automated test building of newer kernel versions that answer yes to every new question, their build could break. > > Having said that, I want to submit a patch in the next days which adds nvec > support > to the paz00 board file.

Well, we do have a correct Kconfig in staging (as in: should not cause build failures). The other patch you have is also slightly wrong currently, it selects an option (LEDS_CLASS) that depends on other options -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
