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. Also select DCDBAS as needed, instead of depending on it, so that the Dell driver options are always visible. As a clean-up, I removed the "default n" statements as they are not needed (n is the default default.)

Changes since v1: * Select DCDBAS instead of depending on it. This is more user-friendly and avoids the confusing transitive dependencies which Pali didn't like. drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig | 10 ++++------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- linux-4.10-rc2.orig/drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig 2017-01-01 23:31:53.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-4.10-rc2/drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig 2017-01-05 09:06:24.722834567 +0100 @@ -92,9 +92,8 @@ config ASUS_LAPTOP If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. config DELL_SMBIOS - tristate "Dell SMBIOS Support" - depends on DCDBAS - default n + tristate + select DCDBAS ---help--- This module provides common functions for kernel modules using Dell SMBIOS. @@ -103,16 +102,15 @@ config DELL_SMBIOS config DELL_LAPTOP tristate "Dell Laptop Extras" - depends on DELL_SMBIOS depends on DMI depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE depends on ACPI_VIDEO || ACPI_VIDEO = n depends on RFKILL || RFKILL = n depends on SERIO_I8042 + select DELL_SMBIOS select POWER_SUPPLY select LEDS_CLASS select NEW_LEDS - default n ---help--- This driver adds support for rfkill and backlight control to Dell laptops (except for some models covered by the Compal driver). @@ -123,7 +121,7 @@ config DELL_WMI depends on DMI depends on INPUT depends on ACPI_VIDEO || ACPI_VIDEO = n - depends on DELL_SMBIOS + select DELL_SMBIOS select INPUT_SPARSEKMAP ---help--- Say Y here if you want to support WMI-based hotkeys on Dell laptops. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
