You might want to use callbacks for these system calls that you

Can you point me to a specific example?

The simpler way (e.g. for testing) is using Kconfig dependencies, like

config PTP
	bool "IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol"

config PPS
	tristate "Pulse per Second"
	depends on PTP || !PTP

The depends statement is a way of expressing that when PTP is enabled,
PPS cannot be a module, while it may be a module if PTP is disabled.

THis did not work for me.

What I got was, in effect, two independent booleans.


Thanks,
