Re: [PATCH] MPT: make all Fusion MPT sub-choices singly selectable

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@mindspring.com>]

  based on randy's earlier email, here's an updated model for a patch
that adds a couple selectors to the Device Drivers menu, one for a
boolean MPT, and the other for a tristate MTD.  it *seems* to work.
(one improvement that *could* be made would be to also edit the MTD
sub-Kconfig files and remove their "depends on MTD" clauses since they
wouldn't be necessary anymore.  but it might be safer to leave those
alone just in case someone decides to source those files from
elsewhere some day.)

  again ... thoughts?
