MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1670 Lines: 52 Hello, I am contemplating a patch which would move the drivers/sn/ioc4.c code into drivers/misc, as the SGI IOC4 device may soon not be limited to operation on the SGI SN2 platform. However, to maintain proper Kconfig dependency ordering, this will require me to move drivers/misc before drivers/ide in the drivers/Kconfig file. My examination of this change seems to indicate this should not cause any problems for the drivers hosted under drivers/misc, however I wanted to run it by those who have recently (i.e. since "git" began hosting the Linux source) touched the drivers/misc/Kconfig file. Do any of you anticipate a problem with the following change?
