Dell-smbios is a helper module, it serves no purpose on its own, so do not present it as an option to the user. Instead, select it automatically whenever a driver which needs it is selected. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> Cc: Michał Kępień <kernel@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pali Rohár <pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Darren Hart <dvhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: * Select DCDBAS instead of depending on it.
