From 6eac0e817aee2518a96b5ce9d02b904e0667f370 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2017 23:03:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: make RTPM depend on EXPERT Enabling the RTPM Kconfig option can be fairly risky. Runtime PM must be validated against a specific platform before it can be safely enabled. Hence, it makes no sense for distros and other big OS vendors to enable it since they ship code to various systems and unknown platform. Make sure that this is hinted properly by making the IWLWIFI_PCIE_RTPM Kconfig option depend on EXPERT.
