Is this the right way to fix this? Whenever I get this kind of build warning, I
usually attribute it to a problem with my local configuration and fix my copy of
.config, not modify the build system. With this change, it seems to me that a
lot of devices will suddenly disappear from the build with little explanation. I
don't feel confident enough to NACK the patch, but I would like an expert to
comment.
I have noticed that the defconfigs for various architectures are split between
turning MISC_DEVICES on or off.
