Subrata, unless someone says otherwise, please do not send randconfig
failures for drivers in staging - those drivers have bigger problems
than randconfig failures.

To avoid them, do this:

# make randconfig
# sed -i -e 's/^\(CONFIG_STAGING\)=y/# \1 is not set/' .config
# make oldconfig


cheers

Indeed, in particular this one http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/9/349.

Yes, I've been using =n for quite awhile to disable a config symbol.
