Hi!
[ Upstream commit 679b2ec8e060ca7a90441aff5e7d384720a41b76 ]
This kernel configuration is basically enabling/disabling sr driver quirks detection. While these quirks are for fairly rare devices (very old CD burners, and a glucometer), the additional detection of these models is a very minimal amount of code.
The logic behind the quirks is always built into the sr driver.
This also removes the config from all the defconfig files that are enabling this already.
Why is this in -stable?
It forcefully enables code most people don't need, and is rather intrusive with all the defconfig changes.
Best regards, Pavel
