Because there is now no real MFD driver anymore, there is also
no symbol for that. The closest would be ARCH_ARM64 but I don't
think that is a good idea.
Lee, what do you think about adding a symbol to the MFD, which
selects MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C but doesn't enable any C modules?
I.e.
config MFD_SL28CPLD
tristate "Kontron sl28cpld"
select MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C
help
Say yes here to add support for the Kontron sl28cpld board
management controller.
Then all the other device driver could depend on the MFD_SL28CPLD
symbol.
You want to add a virtual symbol to prevent having to present a real
one? How is that a reasonable solution?
(1) Its a symbol on which all sl28cpld will depend on. Thus they will
all be hidden if that is not set.
(2) the drivers itself wouldn't need to depend on MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C,
which is more correct, because they don't have anything to do with
i2c.
Lee, would you accept such a symbol? Otherwise, I'd leave it as is.
