Any reason you can't merge ARM's options into the drivers/*/Kconfig (with
appropriate conditionals) and use drivers/Kconfig?

Dunno.  Haven't gotten around to sorting that out yet, and I don't
particularly fancy trying to fight any corners over it.

I think, a while back, it was thought to be better to keep ARM separate
to keep the conditionals out of drivers/Kconfig.

If the general concensus has changed, I might eventually sort it out if
it causes enough trouble, or people think there's sufficient value to it.


As the original author of drivers/Kconfig, I think it's a brilliant
idea that everybody should use ;-)  I haven't heard any dissenting
opinions yet.  The only complaint I've heard is that net/Kconfig is now
under device drivers.  I didn't make that change, and I agree it sucks.

This is likely a little OT for this thread, but
I probably made that change (of grouping all networking
options and drivers together).  And I still think that they
should all be grouped together -- whether it's under
device drivers or a top-level Networking section.

The real problem AFAICT is that Networking options
includes some protocols and then Network Device Support
includes some other protocols.  Maybe if there was a Network Protocol
section things could be clearer.  ??
