patch 2 / 2: deselect dst and dst-ca if they aren?t needed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everybody,
I?ve been sending in this stuff several times now. At my last attempt Mr. Abraham replied: "NACK. The patch is OK, but I first want to see whether
DVB_CORE_ATTACH works without errors."
Seeing through the mailing list for a couple of weeks now I never even once noticed at least one complaint that DVB_CORE_ATTACH would not work as it should.
So here is my patch again. I do not want to carry it around with me for another ten months, so please push it:
This patch enables deselecting Mr. Abraham?s dst modules if they aren?t needed. Within the current kernel concept you are forced to compile them and delete them afterwards if you enabled DVB_CORE_ATTACH, which is utmost stupid. With this patch you can make sure that they aren?t compiled at all if you know that you do not need them at all. Above that you save RAM using several DVB-S cards and DVB_CORE_ATTACH works fine and error free:
