Subject: CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2<tripleX> looks dead - could it be removed ?

Hoping that this time the gmail filter doesn't bounce my subject (doh)

Said entry only appears in defconfigs, but doesn't seem to be actually
used by anyone - at least according to this grep:

[asuardi@incident linux]$ find . -type f | xargs grep
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX | grep -v defconfig
./drivers/scsi/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX) += qla2xxx/
./include/linux/autoconf.h:#define CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX_MODULE 1
./.config:CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=m
./.config.old:CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=m
[asuardi@incident linux]$

Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any entry in kbuild menus to
turn it off. Even taking it out of my .config and running oldconfig
brings it back in.

Correct grep command:
grep -r SCSI_QLA2XXX * | grep -v defconfig

Thanks - it shows I should go to bed after watching the NFL wildcards...

Ah, I see, thanks.

So, if I'm saying CONFIG_SCSI=m for USB storage I get an unwanted
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=m without any way to turn it off.

Well, as long as it's harmless...
