I've kept it for two reasons. The first one is that I can't compile-test all those drivers on all architectures. The spi-sh-msiof driver, for instance, uses io(read|write)(16| 32) which are not available on all architectures. There might be other similar problems that I can't catch, and I don't want to introduce build breakages in the kernel. The second reason is that, as the IP cores have never been used on anything but SuperH and ARM, I don't like the idea of clobbering the config process with drivers that are useless on the target architecture. Now that we have a COMPILE_TEST Kconfig option, my preference would thus go to SUPERH || ARM || COMPILE_TEST over no dependency at all. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
