No, drivers should *never* enable things that weren't explictly enabled by the machine constraints. This misses the whole point of having constraints. They are there so that the system integrator can enable the functionality that is safe on a given board. The comment is also inaccurate, it claims it's imposing constraints but in fact it's adding additional permissions. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
