Subject: IB/hfi1: Disable by default
From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a154a8cd080b437969ef194dee365bbb60a3b38a upstream.
There is a strict policy in the Linux kernel that new drivers must be
disabled by default. Hence leave out the "default m" line from Kconfig.
Fixes: f48ad614c100 ("IB/hfi1: Move driver out of staging")
