This might be an x86 and ia64-specific CONFIG_* item: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Symbol: DMIID [=y] |
| 16 |
Type : boolean |
| 17 |
Prompt: Export DMI identification via sysfs to userspace |
| 18 |
Location: |
| 19 |
-> Firmware Drivers |
| 20 |
Defined at drivers/firmware/Kconfig:91 |
| 21 |
Depends on: DMI [=y] |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Symbol: DMI [=y] |
| 24 |
Type : boolean |
| 25 |
Prompt: Enable DMI scanning |
| 26 |
Location: |
| 27 |
-> Processor type and features |
| 28 |
Defined at arch/x86/Kconfig:748 |
| 29 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |

|
| 31 |
# grep -rIn "config DMI" * |
| 32 |
arch/ia64/Kconfig:104:config DMI |
| 33 |
arch/x86/Kconfig:748:config DMI |
| 34 |
drivers/firmware/Kconfig:91:config DMIID |
| 35 |
drivers/firmware/Kconfig:100:config DMI_SYSFS |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So all non-x86/ia64 systems (amd64/x86_64, too??) probably need to ignore |
| 38 |
this CONFIG_* item. |
