Hm, right. We could also make it a user-selectable config symbol. In that case you only need to disable one symbol when you don't have FPGA support rather than one for each driver. Although I'm not quite sure where to put such a symbol. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
