config PACKING
bool "Generic bitfield packing and unpacking"
default n
help
This option provides the packing() helper function, which permits
converting bitfields between a CPU-usable representation and a
memory representation that can have any combination of these quirks:
- Is little endian (bytes are reversed within a 32-bit group)
- The least-significant 32-bit word comes first (within a 64-bit
group)
- The most significant bit of a byte is at its right (bit 0 of a
register description is numerically 2^7).
Drivers may use these helpers to match the bit indices as described
in the data sheets of the peripherals they are in control of.
When in doubt, say N.

help
On some platforms where no separate I/O space exists, there are I/O
hosts which can not be accessed in MMIO mode. Using the logical PIO
mechanism, the host-local I/O resource can be mapped into system
logic PIO space shared with MMIO hosts, such as PCI/PCIe, then the
system can access the I/O devices with the mapped-logic PIO through
I/O accessors.
This way has relatively little I/O performance cost. Please make
sure your devices really need this configure item enabled.
When in doubt, say N.

you have a good reason not to.

Drivers may select this option to force specific constant
values for parameters 'm' (Galois field order) and 't'
(error correction capability). Those specific values must
be set by declaring default values for symbols BCH_CONST_M
and BCH_CONST_T.
Doing so will enable extra compiler optimizations,
improving encoding and decoding performance up to 2x for
usual (m,t) values (typically such that m*t < 200).
When this option is selected, the BCH library supports
only a single (m,t) configuration. This is mainly useful
for NAND flash board drivers requiring known, fixed BCH
parameters.

This option provides a glob_match function for performing
simple text pattern matching. It originated in the ATA code
to blacklist particular drive models, but other device drivers
may need similar functionality.
All drivers in the Linux kernel tree that require this function
should automatically select this option. Say N unless you
are compiling an out-of tree driver which tells you that it
depends on this.
config GLOB_SELFTEST

This option enables a simple self-test of the glob_match
function on startup. It is primarily useful for people
working on the code to ensure they haven't introduced any
regressions.
It only adds a little bit of code and slows kernel boot (or
module load) by a small amount, so you're welcome to play with
it, but you probably don't need it.
