That's not at all tricky in my opinion. The MFD provides an LCDC as one of the devices, so requiring it to be selected before you can enable any of the subdrivers is very natural. It's also how the majority of MFD devices work. > The MFD_ATMEL_HLCDC symbol is now hidden (see patch 1) which should > solve part of the issue.

My attention span tends to be very short these days. No promises. =) Thierry
