That's probably a discussion with me. I think it was for the Surface 3 battery support which needed: CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_CORE=y CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM=y From: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106231#c39 Benjamin would know more. And possibly also: +CONFIG_PWM_CRC=y from commit fcb14e5f56b3d8daea308233b799d419cc02fd95 (and d775331d9cc6659c6e91a6991c640e6abb049243) which is needed to get the backlight working on the Surface 3 (and possibly other BayTrail/CherryTrail devices) _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
