With BLK_DEV_SD=n, I see a "Fusion MPT device support" menu I can't
enter.
The simple patch below removes the "Fusion MPT device support" menu if
BLK_DEV_SD=n.
Please apply
Adrian

I'd rather see an explanation from LSI why a scsi LLDD depens on a uper
driver. This can't be right.

There's a hint in the config help:
[2] In order enable capability to boot the linux kernel
natively from a Fusion MPT target device, you MUST
answer Y here! (currently requires CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD)
But a kernel built with BLK_DEV_SD=n, FUSION=y builds and links OK.

Well, that's true for any LLDD.

Yes, some system, but I think that Matthew should go ahead
and send this one to you.

This is one of the patches I have in my tree. Andrew, shall I start
feeding all my Kconfig cleanups through you rather than through
kernel-janitors?

to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
