Currently the CROS_EC_PROTO is not user-selectable. How can you > depend on it?

Yes, that's why I posted "[PATCH] platform/chrome: Make CROS_EC_PROTO a user selectable option" [0]. I posted as separate patches because there isn't a dependency between them and once all the defconfig patches and the patch to make the CROS_EC_PROTO symbol user selectable lands, I'll post the patch to change select for depends on to avoid a regression. Maybe I should had posted as a series (or at least cc all the people in all the patches) to not left these questions unanswered... > > Best regards, > Krzysztof > > [0]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/18/61 Best regards, -- Javier Martinez Canillas Open Source Group Samsung Research America -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
