    scsi/atari_scsi: Don't select CONFIG_NVRAM · 83d2aed4
    Finn Thain authored
    On powerpc, setting CONFIG_NVRAM=n builds a kernel with no NVRAM support.
    Setting CONFIG_NVRAM=m enables the /dev/nvram misc device module without
    enabling NVRAM support in drivers. Setting CONFIG_NVRAM=y enables the
    misc device (built-in) and also enables NVRAM support in drivers.
    
    m68k shares the valkyriefb driver with powerpc, and since that driver uses
    NVRAM, it is affected by CONFIG_ATARI_SCSI, because of the use of
    "select NVRAM". We can avoid the "select" here, but drivers still have
    to interpret the CONFIG_NVRAM symbol consistently regardless of platform.
    
    In this patch and the subsequent fbdev driver patch, the convention is
    adopted across all relevant platforms whereby NVRAM functionality gets
    enabled in a given device driver when the nvram misc device is built-in
    or when both drivers are modules.
