From fce7d3bfc0ae70ca2a57868f2a9708b13185fd1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2013 14:39:40 +0000 Subject: x86/efi: Don't select EFI from certain special ACPI drivers Commit 7ea6c6c1 ("Move cper.c from drivers/acpi/apei to drivers/firmware/efi") results in CONFIG_EFI being enabled even when the user doesn't want this. Since ACPI APEI used to build fine without UEFI (and as far as I know also has no functional depency on it), at least in that case using a reverse dependency is wrong (and a straight one isn't needed). Whether the same is true for ACPI_EXTLOG I don't know - if there is a functional dependency, it should depend on EFI rather than selecting it. It certainly has (currently) no build dependency. Adjust Kconfig and build logic so that the bad dependency gets avoided.

These have limited numbers of write cycles so it is a poor idea to use them from high frequency operations.
