That's sad, because in embedded world we often have to care about code size, so making those devices optional would be of great help. OTOH, the 8250 driver already has several such options. What's your concern about adding another one for a new device ? Config variant inflation ? Would putting it behind CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_EMBEDDED an option ? thx. --mtx -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering [email protected] -- +49-151-27565287
