I believe the MAC_SCC option is for another driver that got removed.
I hope to eventually bring back support for the hardware by adding

just a reminder (dropping LKML from recipient list) that the fairly
up-to-date list of suspicious CONFIG variables can be found here:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Kernel_cleanup
broken into sub-categories, and further into architectures. so poke
around and see what else looks odd. i typically refresh those pages
after the chaos of each merge window settles down.
How is the list of unused CONFIG variables generated? The MAC_SCC
option is not in that list, but I'm pretty sure the actual driver
hasn't existed in any 2.6 kernel. I know it's still in the Kconfig
file because it was in the line that got modified in the patch in
this thread. Is something else having a dependency enough to look
like the option is still used? The serial console option that was
being modified in this thread still references it as a dependency,
but it doesn't do anything in the actual code.
sorry, i didn't read that last bit carefully enough -- yes, the fact
that MAC_SCC occurs as a dependency for SERIAL_CONSOLE in
arch/m68k/Kconfig means, as far as my search script is concerned,
that it's "used."
