You can have as much entries as you want, the only limit is that you can only have one user prompt per config entry and the type must not conflict. This example could have been done with a single entry and this is usually prefered to keep it more compact, but you don't have to. > p.s. and i'm open to where i should be emailing those patches > if this list is not the right place. You can Cc: me if you want, but I can mostly only comment on technical aspects. The subsystem/driver maintainer has the final decision. bye, Roman
