I would think should be CONFIG_DRIVERS_PATA_BFIN
I dosagree, the "DRIVERS" part is just added line noise.
It's a name space - making sure it is differentiated from an option.
Yeah, and we end up with variable names that cannot be used any more because they exceed the maximum line length.
What about "DRV" or even "D" if you insist? CONFIG_D_I2C_SOFT ?
I personally find the config files pretty unreadable. Options that enable a driver should be different from those that select a behaviour, in my opinion.
While people responsible for their board know all the stuff they wrote, but when someone undergoes a more general code change several or all config files must be checked. A driver namespace would help, in my opionion.
