(acer abc123, tcm1100 xyz) I have a very long list of Acer laptops that are supported - which is far too long, and changes on far too much of a regular basis to put in there. Perhaps adding something like "This driver is also a required dependency to build the firmware specific drivers needed for many laptops, including Acer and HP machines"? (There's currently another ACPI-WMI based driver in development related to more HP laptops, and acer-wmi also supports a handful of non-Acer laptops). I don't think explaining what WMI is, and how ACPI-WMI is related to it is that useful in Kconfig here; so I agree that further elaborating on the 'why' this should be enabled is definitely worth doing. > Better, if there are kernel drivers that require this (and currently > only those drivers), then have those kernel drivers enable ACPI WMI, Wouldn't that require 'select' though, and I'm led to believe that's seriously frowned upon these days? -Carlos -- E-Mail: carlos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
