Subject: acpi: do not select ACPI_DOCK from ATA_ACPI
From: "Carlos R. Mafra" <crmafra@xxxxxxxxxx>
In March 2008 commit 0ac4a3c2fbbcadc3e96e4dc47d4ae802d66e6f67 ("ACPI: fix
ATA_ACPI build") made CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK be selected by CONFIG_ATA_ACPI because
of a build error when CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y and CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=m.
However, in September 2008 commit 898b054f3eec5921320ae8614b5bdd7b07ea5b43
("dock: make dock driver not a module") removed the possibility of having
CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=m and therefore there is no need for selecting it when
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y.
This makes the kernel ~5 Kb smaller for people who don't have a dock by
allowing them to not have ACPI_DOCK compiled-in because of ATA_ACPI=y.
