Ok, but you can test it on any kernel though, it doesn't require any
modification. If you enable the option, it will remove the built-in
driver dynamically from your kernel configuration and use the module
instead.

I never tested it either since I don't have any NAND on board, making
sure it builds fine is sufficient. Plus I've heard people using it
just fine so I'm not worried and it's still nice to have.

As a FYI, I think SabreAuto is the only one that offers NAND.

Ok good, thanks for the details.

Thanks,
