We know that like all the other drivers, the mvebu driver isn't perfect. But I don't think effectively removing the driver completely helps anybody. If people try to use it and notice problems, we have a chance to try to fix them. Or maybe I'm missing your point. I think you're suggesting that we keep pci-mvebu in the tree but unselectable because it depends on CONFIG_BROKEN. What would be the advantage of doing that? Bjorn
