2.1.98: bttv driver build pains: Config.in problems

Hello everybody,

I've just tried to build 2.1.98 with a BTTV driver compiled as a
module. And that's what I see:

The CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5249 option doesn't seem to be configured. At
least it was absent in 'make xconfig' as well as in the resulting
configuration files.

i2c.c is not compiled. Makefile in drivers/char required a
CONFIG_BUS_I2C option which is not present anywhere.

With all that, BTTV doesn't seem to build correctly.

OK, Just found the reason: there is a line commented out in
drivers/char/Config.in:

#dep_tristate 'SAA5249 Teletext processor' CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5249...

This should be uncommented. Or maybe there are good reasons not to?

Happy hacking,
