[PATCH] add raw driver Kconfig entry for s390

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ihno Krumreich <[email protected]>

The raw module is not enabled on s390/s390x
During SLES9 and SLES10 development IBM filed bugs about the missing raw
driver. Avoid that for SLES11 by adding it to the other char driver
entries.
