Very annoying. A simple way to solve it seems to make those options dependent on CONFIG_EXPERT. Not sure if all usual distributions disable it, but I guess most won't have EXPERT enabled. The enclosed patch does that. If nobody complains, I'll submit it together with the next git pull request. Regards, Mauro - [RFC PATCH] Make tuner/frontend options dependent on EXPERT The media CUSTOMISE options are there to allow embedded systems and advanced users to disable tuner/frontends that are supported by a bridge driver to be disabled, in order to save some disk space and memory, when compiled builtin. However, distros are mistakenly enabling it, causing problems when a make oldconfig is used. Make those options dependent on EXPERT, in order to avoid such annoyance behavior.
