I don't think this is the right way to fix the problem. Take for instance an EBSA285 platform which has only PCI sockets. It is possible to plug in a card with an ISA bridge on, with a ESS SB clone on board (I have one here).
Maybe the right thing to do is to define CONFIG_ISA on these architectures/ machine types where the device itself is actually an ISA device, instead of going through special-casing the driver configuration entries? _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
