From 194588930c5d603e574b7ecae1b55a6a774bdbe5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:59:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_mid: make option visible Hiding tristate options with "if EXPERT" is usually not a good idea. You can decide that the driver should be included by default, but you don't know if the user wants it built-in or as a module. Hiding the option prevents the user from making that decision. This is even more problematic when said option selects other options. You end up with several device drivers forcibly built into the kernel. In this specific case, drivers 8250_mid, virt-dma, hsu_dma and hsu_dma_pci end up being built-in as soon as SERIAL_8250=y. It is very common for distribution kernels to build the subsystem core code into the kernel, because almost everybody will need it, but build all the device drivers as modules. This should be made possible. So drop the "if EXPERT" and make SERIAL_8250_MID visible.
