Subject: ucb1400_gpio driver Kconfig entry

Hi Marek,

drivers/gpio/Kconfig says:

config GPIO_UCB1400
bool "Philips UCB1400 GPIO"
depends on UCB1400_CORE
help
This enables support for the Philips UCB1400 GPIO pins.
The UCB1400 is an AC97 audio codec.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ucb1400_gpio.

But you use bool above, so choosing M isn't actually an option.
Maybe you want to resolve this inconsistency.

I don't really have any device with ucb1400 available now. I will have some
probably sometimes soon though. On the other hand, if you know it's a correct
fix, you can send a patch.

Also, CC linux-input please.

Cheers

This note hasn't got much to do with the driver code itself. Either you
want to enable compiling the driver as a module, then use tristate
instead of bool; or it isn't an option and then remove the corresponding
paragraph from the documentation. The latter is improbable, and a
quick look at the code seems to confirm that the driver was actually
intended to be used as a module. So I suggest replacing bool with
tristate. But I don't know anything at all about this driver or device.

I know what this thing is -- it's a MFD chip with audio/touchscreen/gpio on it.
I'll get to a device with such thing soon, so don't worry. I'll keep this in
ToDo. I think it should be possible to compile this as a module btw.

Cheers
