As noted, it's both PATA and SATA. People searching for PATA-only PIIX support may have trouble locating it under SATA.
Why not remove ATA SFF support visual option (or leave it for optional off-tree drivers only, if it makes sense) and SELECT it when any driver using it is selected? I'm not sure that users know they need SFF, or what's that.
I think I would also ask for PATA and for SATA first:
[*] PATA support [*] SATA support ... PATA drivers if "PATA support" is selected ... SATA drivers if "SATA support" is selected ... PIIX is PATA and/or SATA support is selected
I guess all PATA and/or SATA drivers in a single sorted list (so PIIX doesn't break ordering). -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
