Hi!
I.e.: it looks like I will lose some funcionality when I disable SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK.
OK. At present you can't have it both ways, i.e., SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK with no LEDS. That driver apparently wants LEDS.
Thanks but why have I gone for years without LEDS? I do not need LEDS, I do not want LEDS, I do not have LEDS (that are visible, usable, etc).
Please make this selectable instead of forcing more bulk into my kernel.
LED core is not that big, and this avoided some rather "interesting" hacks IIRC. If Udo wants more config complexity, lets first make him measure the benefits, second submit a patch.
But I'd suggest to just live with it.
And yes, we should probably get rid of "CONFIG_NEW_LEDS" symbol. That one is actually useless.
Best regards, Pavel
and this Kconfig entry:
config SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK tristate "Build Realtek HD-audio codec support" select SND_HDA_GENERIC select SND_HDA_GENERIC_LEDS
it seems that LED support is not always wanted (please see above). I.e., user(s) would like to build a kernel without LED support at all.
Can you make it a build option?
thanks.
