Nothing cares about ACPI_PROCFS. This has been the case since v2.6.38. This Kconfig symbol serves no purpose and its help text is now misleading. It can safely be removed. If this symbol would be needed again in the future it can be readded in a commit that adds code that actually uses it. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Tested with "git grep" only. Michael Opdenacker did a previous attempt in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/27/15 . That patch that needed some context changes, so I redid it. I also wrote a new commit explanation. It also addresses the reasons not to accept Michael's patch. drivers/acpi/Kconfig | 13 ------------- 1 file changed, 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/Kconfig b/drivers/acpi/Kconfig index 4770de5..436111b 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/acpi/Kconfig @@ -43,19 +43,6 @@ config ACPI_SLEEP depends on SUSPEND || HIBERNATION default y -config ACPI_PROCFS - bool "Deprecated /proc/acpi files" - depends on PROC_FS - help - For backwards compatibility, this option allows - deprecated /proc/acpi/ files to exist, even when - they have been replaced by functions in /sys. - - This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ files - and functions which do not yet exist in /sys. - - Say N to delete /proc/acpi/ files that have moved to /sys/ - config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec" default n -- 1.8.5.3 -- 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
