Hi Mauro,

The only item that opens at the CEC Kconfig menu is related
to Remote Controller. Also, its support should not depend on
media support, so it makes sense to keep both RC and CEC together.

After this change, the main media menus that are visible
under "Device Drivers" menu are:

<*> Remote Controller support --->
[ ] HDMI CEC RC integration (NEW)
< > HDMI CEC drivers
<M> Multimedia support --->

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 46d2a3b964ddbe63 ("media:
place CEC menu before MEDIA_SUPPORT") in media/master.

This is now visible in a media-less and head-less kernel...

... and in that case even defaults to y:

$ grep MEDIA .config
CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT is not set

Is that intentional?
