Sorry for the silly question, but are there serious usecases where people in very space limited environments and with CONFIG_INPUT=n want PC-Speaker support?
I don't know, but there might be someone who wants the PCM support from pc-speaker, and hates the beeps at the same time. So they can disable it forever. :) I also want to resolve the conflict with INPUT_PCSPKR somehow. Making the input part of snd-pcsp optional looks like the first step to me. It became known to me that loading multiple drivers for the same device will be possible in the future. I want to get everything ready for loading pcspkr and snd-pcsp together. And overall, having snd-pcsp to depend on CONFIG_INPUT only because it can do a console beeps as a bonus, looks ill- behaved to me. So I just propose that patch as a small logical correction and cleanup, rather than a new feature.
