Would you mind sparing some > details as to why you need to do this? I've tried it as modules and inbuid and see no issues. Issue with build happens if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() not removed. It's not expected and not supported to load more then one TI Net driver at same hw, so modules also are just be loaded fine. Why? It's to get rid of CONFIG options which were historically added, but are not required now (and even can't be disabled of if disabled will cause build failures) - result simplified build/Kconfig and code. -- Best regards, grygorii
