Hello,

while working on an defconfig (arm/mx27) I noticed that just updating
it[1] results in removing CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24=y.  The reason is that
since commit

	v2.6.36-5965-g5f2365d (misc devices: do not enable by default)

MISC_DEVICES isn't enabled anymore by default.  So all defconfigs that
have CONFIG_SOME_SYMBOL=y (or =m) (with SOME_SYMBOL depending on
MISC_DEVICES) but not CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y suffer from the same
problem.

As a defconfig that was reduced before 5f2365d obviously didn't have
CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y many defconfigs have that problem.

I did the following to (hopefully) find all affected defconfigs:

	$ git describe
	v2.6.38-rc7
	$ git ls-files drivers/misc | grep Kconfig | xargs grep -h ^config | sed 's/config \(.*\)/CONFIG_\1=/' > miscsymbols
	$ git ls-files *defconfig | xargs grep -L CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES= | xargs grep -F -f miscsymbols

(For those wondering about the commands above: A line 

	arch/$arch/configs/xyz_defconfig:CONFIG_SOME_DEVICE=y

means here, that running

	make ARCH=$arch xyz_defconfig

results in a config without SOME_DEVICE.

I don't know if that bothers you, but if it does, you should add

	CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y

to your defconfig.

Just to let you know ...

Best regards
Uwe
