[PATCH 3.4 16/25] Input: mousedev - allow disabling even without CONFIG_EXPERT

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Dec 10 2013 - 03:41:17 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tom Gundersen <teg@xxxxxxx>

commit dfaaed08ecc01bd513248ba7999daf50ce028352 upstream.

Moust (if not all) modern software, including X, uses /dev/eventX rather than
the legacy /dev/mouseX devices. It therefore makes sense for general-purpose
(distro) kernels to use MOUSEDV=m (or even n), so let's drop the EXPERT=y
requirement.

Say Y here if you want your mouse to be accessible as char devices
