Description lailavrazda1979 2013-01-14 00:10:32 UTC

Under Device Drivers->Input Device Support->Hardware I/O ports there is a option  Serial port line discipline (CONFIG_SERIO_SERPORT) whose help says that it should be selected if the user plans to use an input device that communicates over a COM port. It also says, "If unsure, say Y." This seems outdated to me, seeing as very few people even have those ports anymore. Also, under Core Netfilter Configuration, connlimit match support has an extra double quote at the end of it.
Additionally, under Pseudo filesystems, /proc/kcore support has no help. Can someone tell me what it does? Finally, under Device Drivers->Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers, there is an option ATA SFF support (for legacy IDE and PATA). Its help also says "If unsure, say Y.", while "AHCI SATA support" says "If unsure, say N." This also seems outdated. I'm not sure if these are bugs, but I'd like to draw attention to them anyway.

I made patches for the Netfilter quotation mark and the /proc/kcore help text.
I don't see a real problem with the ATA options or the SERIO options.
Sure they could be updated but it's not a big deal.

All right, I see this as fixed, then.
