These aren't meant to be selectable. They are expressing internal dependencies so we don't have to crap up the code with the complicated dependency conditional test. They are meant to be turned on, unconditionally, when the dependencies are met. They are not meant to be controllable by the user. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Ok. I only needed this for our compilation scripts in order to make sure I didn't have my CONFIG_* wrong in patch 4/9. I don't need this patch anymore. David, should I re-send an updated v7 version of this series with this patch removed? Or is it Ok if I simply mark this patch as rejected in patchwork and stick to patch series v6? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'll try to apply v6 as-is sans patch #3. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
