[PATCH] [SCSI] Create menu entry for the SCSI_WAIT_SCAN config variable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The scsi_wait_scan module lacks a menu entry and help text. The
patch adds those, and also makes the module disabled by default,
so that it is compiled only for those targets, which consciously
need it.
