Hi Peter,

We normally like to see new options turned on after the driver/option has been
merged, so send this during or right after the merge window when that happens,
please.

I also see that this is statically enabling this driver -- we try to keep as
many drivers as possible as modules to avoid the static kernel from growing too
large. Would that be a suitable approach here, or is the driver needed to reach
rootfs for further module loading?


Thanks,

-Olof
