Who is a "client"? And who is going to modify the installer of their distro in order to automatically enable this option? That's the problem with options, you never know if you need to turn it on or not, so I _really_ don't ever want to add any more, the kernel should "just know" if it needs to be enabled or not. Surely there is some way for the kernel to determine if this is your code/hardware running on the platform or not, right? No signature in the system anywhere? PCI id? DMI table? ACPI table? BIOS signature? Something else? You really don't want to be responsible for dealing with 10+ distros in telling them when they should, or should not, enable this option. So please don't create it in the first place. greg k-h -- 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
