[PATCH] don't select EFI from certain special ACPI drivers

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Mon Dec 16 2013 - 09:39:52 EST


Commit 7ea6c6c1 ("Move cper.c from drivers/acpi/apei to
drivers/firmware/efi") results in CONFIG_EFI being enabled even when
the user doesn't want this. Since ACPI APEI used to build fine without
UEFI (and as far as I know also has no functional depency on it), at
least in that case using a reverse dependency is wrong (and a straight
one isn't needed).

Whether the same is true for ACPI_EXTLOG I don't know - if there is a
functional dependency, it should depend on EFI rather than selecting
it. It certainly has (currently) no build dependency.

Adjust Kconfig and build logic so that the bad dependency gets avoided.
