Add configuration for availability of pata_platform
RFC PATCH 1/1 Add configuration for availability of pata_platform
Repost of http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=118106594419762&w=2
Could someone comment on the following please:
Add a hidden configuration for an architecture or machine to select to show that the pata_platform driver should be show in the configuration.
This method is used to allow each individual machine/arch to specify this, instead of creating large "depends on" on the driver's Kconfig menu.
If this patch is acceptable, I will submit a patch to move ARCH_RPC to select ARCH_HAS_PATA_PLATFORM.
