Please let me know your > thoughts on the findings. So you want to prevent the user from seeing a prompt for an option he may or may not need to enable, when running "make oldconfig"? One common approach is to let the Kconfig symbol for the platform (not for all of X86!) select EFI_RCI2_TABLE. That way it will be enabled automatically when needed. Another approach is to not force the option on, but guide the user towards enabling it, by adding "default y if <platform_symbol>". > > > > You can drop the || COMPILE_TEST as well. > > > > > > I will drop this part of the change in the next version of the patch. > > > > Why drop that part?

Without the "|| COMPILE_TEST", you cannot enable compile-testing of the driver on non-x86 platforms with EFI. > [1] Re: [PATCH 4/5] efi: Export Runtime Configuration Interface table to sysfs > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-efi/20190812150452.27983-1-ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#mebff9ba48499808f59b33b2daef2d94e006296d8 Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
