A config issue? It says 'choose M' which is not offered. Maybe it is just
an option for the bt8xx driver, which itself can be built as a module
(CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848)?


 DVB/ATSC Support for bt878 based TV cards (VIDEO_BT848_DVB) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?

This adds support for DVB/ATSC cards based on the BT878 chip.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called dvb-bt8xx.

No -- It's a typo. CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848_DVB is just an option to CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848. It is a boolean option, and when chosen, Kconfig SELECT's CONFIG_DVB_BT8XX, and that's the actual menu item that builds the module.

The option is set as bool, so that if it's dependencies are set as modules, dvb-bt8xx will also build as a module. If, however, the dependencies are set to build in-kernel, then dvb-bt8xx will do so as well.

Consider this menu item a symbolic link to CONFIG_DVB_BT8XX -- it was the only way to add this as a submenu option to VIDEO_BT848, without removing the reference in the DVB submenu.

Anyhow, this patch removes the incorrect info:
