Jouni,
thanks for your response.
The only tip on the docs I can offer is in discussing the ".config"
file, it would be logical that if:
CONFIG_DRIVER_HERMES=y
enables the option, that:
CONFIG_DRIVER_HERMES=n
disables the option. I would state clearly that one must remove the
option line.
now onto the next hop.
thanks again
