Why do you want to allow disabling the > driver if you make it 'default y' in the first place? Not much of a reason, but I thought configurability is a positive. There's really not a good reason to not have this driver though; I can't imagine someone wanting to build our platform but not be able to reboot it. > We try to avoid 'default y' for user-selectable drivers in general. I didn't know that. A default is technically different than "should a user be able to disable this," but I suppose the policy makes sense. > I noticed that in my example, I was missing the default. I see. That's why I immediately ruled it out. > It should have been > > config POWER_RESET_BRCMSTB > bool "Broadcom STB reset driver" if COMPILE_TEST > depends on POWER_RESET && ARM > default ARCH_BRCMSTB OK, that's OK with me if it's OK with Sebastian, et al. Respin coming soon, separate from the mach-bcm and ARM stuff... (BTW, we might consider rewriting the other config entries to be similar, if we really want to make this things consistently nitpick-proof.) > This way, it always gets selected when ARCH_BRCMSTB is on and > COMPILE_TEST is off.
