That's right:
$ cat arch/m68k/Kconfig.bus
...
config NUBUS
bool
depends on MAC
default y
I don't plan to convert this bus driver to a module, but this patch series
would make that conversion more difficult, should it happen in future.
Therefore I plan to revise this submission to avoid or remove the existing
global nubus_boards list, because the use of this list means that a
hypothetical device_put() call is not allowable.
You may wish to disregard this submission.
Thanks.
