Yes, one use-case would be to select things as modules by default only if ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL is selected. But not everyone needs many of these things, I expect to be able to do ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL=n, and manually enable USB stuff USB_MUSB_HDRC=y, without having to know the dependencies myself. That was the idea: simplify the defconfigs so that they are truly minimal (they boot), and then people can add whatever they need (like USB). -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
