Allow to disable CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m in menuconfig.
PATCH 1/1 Allow to disable CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m in menuconfig.
Hi there!
This was already discussed in May: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/13/75
without any valuable results.
I don't want to have the scsi_wait_scan.ko around but still need SCSI for usb disks and module support for driver development. Otherwise, I am working with a monolithic kernel on embedded machines.
The attached patch is another try to at least allow to get rid of this module.
Feedback is welcome.
Regards,
