From 897919ad8b42eb8222553838ab82414a924694aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2021 15:33:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] xen/privcmd: make option visible in Kconfig MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This configuration option provides a misc device as an API to userspace. Make this API usable without having to select the module as a transitive dependency. This also fixes an issue where localyesconfig would select CONFIG_XEN_PRIVCMD=m because it was not visible and defaulted to building as module.
