[PATCH v9 6/8] thunderbolt: Kconfig for Thunderbolt Networking

From: Amir Levy <hidden>
Date: 2016-11-09 12:21:16
Also in: linux-pci, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, thunderbolt driver · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Andreas Noever, Mika Westerberg, Yehezkel Bernat

Update to the Kconfig Thunderbolt description to add
Thunderbolt networking as an option.
The menu item "Thunderbolt support" now offers:
"Apple Hardware Support" (existing)
        and/or
"Thunderbolt Networking" (new)

You can choose the driver for your platform or build both drivers -
each driver will detect if it can run on the specific platform.
If the Thunderbolt Networking option is chosen, Thunderbolt Networking
will be enabled between Linux non-Apple systems, macOS and
Windows based systems.
Thunderbolt Networking will not affect any other Thunderbolt feature that
was previous available to Linux users on either Apple or
non-Apple platforms.
