Hello, while working on an defconfig (arm/mx27) I noticed that just updating it[1] results in removing CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24=y. The reason is that since commit v2.6.36-5965-g5f2365d (misc devices: do not enable by default) MISC_DEVICES isn't enabled anymore by default. So all defconfigs that have CONFIG_SOME_SYMBOL=y (or =m) (with SOME_SYMBOL depending on MISC_DEVICES) but not CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y suffer from the same problem. As a defconfig that was reduced before 5f2365d obviously didn't have CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y many defconfigs have that problem. I did the following to (hopefully) find all affected defconfigs: $ git describe v2.6.38-rc7 $ git ls-files drivers/misc | grep Kconfig | xargs grep -h ^config | sed 's/config \(.*\)/CONFIG_\1=/' > miscsymbols $ git ls-files *defconfig | xargs grep -L CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES= | xargs grep -F -f miscsymbols arch/arm/configs/afeb9260_defconfig:CONFIG_ATMEL_SSC=y

about the commands above: A line arch/$arch/configs/xyz_defconfig:CONFIG_SOME_DEVICE=y means here, that running make ARCH=$arch xyz_defconfig results in a config without SOME_DEVICE. I don't know if that bothers you, but if it does, you should add CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y to your defconfig. Just to let you know ...
