Modify the Kconfig so that Freescale QUICC Engine (QE) support is a selectable
option, thereby allowing users to compile kernels without any QE support.

The drawback is that QE support is now disabled by default on platforms that
have a QE, and so a defconfig is needed to enable QE and QE devices (like
UCC GETH).  Fortunately, all the current relevant defconfigs do that already.

This patch should be applied to Kumar's branch for 2.6.28 patches.

What about the 85xx/Kconfig users?

IIRC selects do not honor any dependencies, i.e. you should delete
the QE_GPIO too.

Is QE_GPIO need by the board?  or you just enabled it to have it?

Well... This select is a relic from the time when we were discussing
how to register QE GPIOs: using board files or using a dedicated
arch_initcall. We seemed to agree on arch_initcall, but in the end
you applied 'board file' approach. ;-)

Later I sent you an update that eliminated the need of the QE_GPIO
select:

But nobody recalled to remove the 'select QE_GPIO' after that...

Btw, as for the need.. yes, it was needed to support the FHCI. But
now the FHCI would just depend on it, which is better approach anyway.

I also noticed that "QE GPIO support" is a top-level Kconfig option, instead of
under Device Drivers -> GPIO.  Is that intentional?

Yup. David said that platform GPIO controllers should not go into the
drivers/gpio/, their place is in the arch/.

Thanks,

Then when I do "make menuconfig", why doesn't that option appear under "Platform
support"?  This is what I see now:

[*] Networking support  --->
    Device Drivers  --->
    File systems  --->
[*] QE GPIO support
    Library routines  --->
    Kernel hacking  --->

I'm moving it under platform like the 8xxx GPIO config
