I've ended up maintaining a local patch to force this on. It affects every user of i2c-algo-bit, but nothing else on this particular board suffers as a consequence. What might be useful would be a config option to build bttv without tuners and i2c to reduce code size and sidestep this problem. Would you take a patch that did that? -- Adrian Cox http://www.humboldt.co.uk/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
