[PATCH] i2c: Suggest N for rare devices in Kconfig
Improve the Kconfig help text of the follwing i2c drivers: * busses/i2c-pca-isa.c * chips/pcf8574.c * chips/pcf8591.c These are hard to detect and building them into the kernel results in long delays at boot. March 2006, thread "I2C_PCA_ISA causes boot delays" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114360399415744&w=2 April 2006, thread "i2c-related 1-minute hang during bootup" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114640992330721&w=2 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
