The patch titled
kbuild : Make Fusion MPT selectable from "Device drivers" menu
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kbuild-make-fusion-mpt-selectable-from-device-drivers.patch
This patch was dropped because it is obsolete
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kbuild : Make Fusion MPT selectable from "Device drivers" menu
From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Rewrite the Fusion MPT Kconfig file so that all of MPT functionality is
entirely selectable from "Device drivers."
The original Kconfig file seems to have an odd structure, as you can see
from the first part of the file:
========================================================
menu "Fusion MPT device support"
config FUSION
bool
default n
config FUSION_SPI
tristate "Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SPI"
depends on PCI && SCSI
select FUSION
select SCSI_SPI_ATTRS
...
========================================================
Note how the majority of entries in that file don't directly *depend* on
FUSION. instead, they depend on *external* config variables, and *select*
FUSION, and this is not the only place i've noticed that kind of dependency
wording.
Is that a regular feature? having that structure certainly makes it
slightly more difficult to rewrite the menu entries, and it's not clear
there's any obvious advantage to doing it that way.
