I'm catching up on recent patches and I see the following block
of code in patch-2.1.94:
# arch/arm/config.in
+# Conditionally compile in the Uniform CD-ROM driver
+if [ "$CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR" = "y" ]; then
+ define_bool CONFIG_CDROM y
+else
+ if [ "$CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD" = "m" -o "$CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR" = "m" ]; then
+ define_bool CONFIG_CDROM m
+ else
+ define_bool CONFIG_CDROM n
+ fi
+fi
+
This is obsolete -- the newly rewritten drivers/cdrom/Makefile doesn't
need the composite symbol CONFIG_CDROM any more. So I believe this block
can go away. Also the default definition of CONFIG_CDROM in
arch/arm/defconfig can go away too.
Execute this command to see that CONFIG_CDROM is vestigial:
egrep CONFIG_CDROM `find . -type f -print | sort`
I wish I had time to make a patch but I only have enough time to file a
report.
