netdev: expose net_device_ops compat as config option (d44c3a2e) · Commits · 戴 / test

Now that most network device drivers in (all but one in x86_64 allmodconfig) support net_device_ops. Expose it as a configuration parameter. Still need to address even older 32 bit drivers, and other arch before compatiablity can be scheduled for removal in some future release. Signed-off-by:
