Bogus argument. CONFIG_ISA isn't strictly needed, and the presence of it only move the cluttering inside the drivers themselves. The problem happens to be in the configuration file and the real fix should come from that area. Enabling CONFIG_ISA will just allow the false selection of many more drivers that shouldn't be available. This is worse than few scattered cluttering of Config.in files IMHO, until "Aunt Tilly" and "Penelope" make that clutter be handled gracefully.
