- Export all symbols of ieee1394's driver programming interface, even
- those that are not currently used by the standard IEEE 1394 drivers.
-
- This option does not affect the interface to userspace applications.
- Say Y here if you want to compile externally developed drivers that
- make extended use of ieee1394's API. It is otherwise safe to say N.
+ This option will be removed soon. Don't worry, say N.
