[PATCH net-next] staging: irda: force to be a kernel module

Show all headers | View raw

Now that the IRDA networking code has moved into drivers/staging/, the
link order is changed for when it is initialized if built into the
system.  This can cause a crash when initializing as the netfilter core
hasn't been initialized yet.

So force the IRDA code to be built as a module, preventing the crash.
