Hi,

Is this a dead kconfig symbol?  I don't see any Kconfig file that
sets/enables it.

./kernel/irq/Makefile:4:obj-$(CONFIG_IRQ_TIMINGS) += timings.o
./kernel/irq/internals.h:#ifdef CONFIG_IRQ_TIMINGS
./kernel/irq/internals.h:#endif /* CONFIG_IRQ_TIMINGS */
./include/linux/interrupt.h:#ifdef CONFIG_IRQ_TIMINGS

thanks,

The actual use case is stil being worked on. Took a bit longer than
expected, but Daniel might have a more accurate answer.

Thanks,

This feature is not supposed to be selected by the user but by a
subsystem depending on it. This subsystems is not yet ready, this is why
the option is not selectable for now.

The algorithm using these timings appears to be too heavy for the
kernel, it needs some rework.

OK, thanks for the info.
