[-mm PATCH] DMA engine kconfig improvements (rev2)

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

 



From: Adrian Bunk <[email protected]>

This patch contains the following changes to the DMA engine menus:
- switch to menuconfig
- INTEL_IOATDMA must depend on X86
- INTEL_IOATDMA must select DCA
- device drivers shouldn't "default m"
- DCA shouldn't be a user visible option
- make it clear in the INTEL_IOATDMA help text that this driver is for
  rare hardware the user most likely doesn't has
- let DMA_ENGINE be select'ed by the DMA devices, making it less likely
  for a user to accidentally enable NET_DMA
