+config TTY_PRINTK
+	tristate "TTY driver to output user messages via printk"
+	depends on EXPERT && TTY
+	default n
+	help
+	  If you say Y here, the support for writing user messages (i.e.
+	  console messages) via printk is available.
+
+	  The feature is useful to inline user messages with kernel
+	  messages.
+	  In order to use this feature, you should output user messages
+	  to /dev/ttyprintk or redirect console to this TTY, or boot
+	  the kernel with console=ttyprintk.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config TTY_PRINTK_LEVEL
+	depends on TTY_PRINTK
+	int "ttyprintk log level (1-7)"
+	range 1 7
+	default "6"
+	help
+	  Printk log level to use for ttyprintk messages.
+
+config PRINTER
+	tristate "Parallel printer support"
+	depends on PARPORT
+	depends on HAS_IOPORT || PARPORT_NOT_PC
+	help
+	  If you intend to attach a printer to the parallel port of your Linux
+	  box (as opposed to using a serial printer; if the connector at the
+	  printer has 9 or 25 holes ["female"], then it's serial), say Y.
+	  Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from
+	  <https://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+	  It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices
+	  (e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the
+	  corresponding drivers into the kernel.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
+	  <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst>.  The module will be called lp.
+
+	  If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to
+	  use with the "lp" kernel command line option.  (Try "man bootparam"
+	  or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about
+	  how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)  The syntax of the
+	  "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>.
+
+	  If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO
+	  macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h.
+
+config LP_CONSOLE
+	bool "Support for console on line printer"
+	depends on PRINTER
+	help
+	  If you want kernel messages to be printed out as they occur, you
+	  can have a console on the printer. This option adds support for
+	  doing that; to actually get it to happen you need to pass the
+	  option "console=lp0" to the kernel at boot time.
+
+	  If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too
+	  busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again.
+	  By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you
+	  can make the kernel continue when this happens,
+	  but it'll lose the kernel messages.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config PPDEV
+	tristate "Support for user-space parallel port device drivers"
+	depends on PARPORT
+	help
+	  Saying Y to this adds support for /dev/parport device nodes.  This
+	  is needed for programs that want portable access to the parallel
+	  port, for instance deviceid (which displays Plug-and-Play device
+	  IDs).
+
+	  This is the parallel port equivalent of SCSI generic support (sg).
+	  It is safe to say N to this -- it is not needed for normal printing
+	  or parallel port CD-ROM/disk support.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called ppdev.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config VIRTIO_CONSOLE
+	tristate "Virtio console"
+	depends on TTY
+	select HVC_DRIVER
+	select VIRTIO
+	help
+	  Virtio console for use with hypervisors.
+
+	  Also serves as a general-purpose serial device for data
+	  transfer between the guest and host.  Character devices at
+	  /dev/vportNpn will be created when corresponding ports are
+	  found, where N is the device number and n is the port number
+	  within that device.  If specified by the host, a sysfs
+	  attribute called 'name' will be populated with a name for
+	  the port which can be used by udev scripts to create a
+	  symlink to the device.
+
+config IBM_BSR
+	tristate "IBM POWER Barrier Synchronization Register support"
+	depends on PPC_PSERIES
+	help
+	  This devices exposes a hardware mechanism for fast synchronization
+	  of threads across a large system which avoids bouncing a cacheline
+	  between several cores on a system
+
+config POWERNV_OP_PANEL
+	tristate "IBM POWERNV Operator Panel Display support"
+	depends on PPC_POWERNV
+	default m
+	help
+	  If you say Y here, a special character device node, /dev/op_panel,
+	  will be created which exposes the operator panel display on IBM
+	  Power Systems machines with FSPs.
+
+	  If you don't require access to the operator panel display from user
+	  space, say N.
+
+	  If unsure, say M here to build it as a module called powernv-op-panel.
+
+source "drivers/char/ipmi/Kconfig"
+
+config DS1620
+	tristate "NetWinder thermometer support"
+	depends on ARCH_NETWINDER
+	help
+	  Say Y here to include support for the thermal management hardware
+	  found in the NetWinder. This driver allows the user to control the
+	  temperature set points and to read the current temperature.
+
+	  It is also possible to say M here to build it as a module (ds1620)
+	  It is recommended to be used on a NetWinder, but it is not a
+	  necessity.
+
+config NWBUTTON
+	tristate "NetWinder Button"
+	depends on ARCH_NETWINDER
+	help
+	  If you say Y here and create a character device node /dev/nwbutton
+	  with major and minor numbers 10 and 158 ("man mknod"), then every
+	  time the orange button is pressed a number of times, the number of
+	  times the button was pressed will be written to that device.
+
+	  This is most useful for applications, as yet unwritten, which
+	  perform actions based on how many times the button is pressed in a
+	  row.
+
+	  Do not hold the button down for too long, as the driver does not
+	  alter the behaviour of the hardware reset circuitry attached to the
+	  button; it will still execute a hard reset if the button is held
+	  down for longer than approximately five seconds.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called nwbutton.
+
+	  Most people will answer Y to this question and "Reboot Using Button"
+	  below to be able to initiate a system shutdown from the button.
+
+config NWBUTTON_REBOOT
+	bool "Reboot Using Button"
+	depends on NWBUTTON
+	help
+	  If you say Y here, then you will be able to initiate a system
+	  shutdown and reboot by pressing the orange button a number of times.
+	  The number of presses to initiate the shutdown is two by default,
+	  but this can be altered by modifying the value of NUM_PRESSES_REBOOT
+	  in nwbutton.h and recompiling the driver or, if you compile the
+	  driver as a module, you can specify the number of presses at load
+	  time with "insmod button reboot_count=<something>".
+
+config NWFLASH
+	tristate "NetWinder flash support"
+	depends on ARCH_NETWINDER
+	help
+	  If you say Y here and create a character device /dev/flash with
+	  major 10 and minor 160 you can manipulate the flash ROM containing
+	  the NetWinder firmware. Be careful as accidentally overwriting the
+	  flash contents can render your computer unbootable. On no account
+	  allow random users access to this device. :-)
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called nwflash.
+
+	  If you're not sure, say N.
+
+source "drivers/char/hw_random/Kconfig"

+config DTLK
+	tristate "Double Talk PC internal speech card support"
+	depends on ISA
+	help
+	  This driver is for the DoubleTalk PC, a speech synthesizer
+	  manufactured by RC Systems (<https://www.rcsys.com/>).  It is also
+	  called the `internal DoubleTalk'.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called dtlk.
+
+config XILINX_HWICAP
+	tristate "Xilinx HWICAP Support"
+	depends on MICROBLAZE
+	help
+	  This option enables support for Xilinx Internal Configuration
+	  Access Port (ICAP) driver.  The ICAP is used on Xilinx Virtex
+	  FPGA platforms to partially reconfigure the FPGA at runtime.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config APPLICOM
+	tristate "Applicom intelligent fieldbus card support"
+	depends on PCI
+	help
+	  This driver provides the kernel-side support for the intelligent
+	  fieldbus cards made by Applicom International. More information
+	  about these cards can be found on the WWW at the address
+	  <https://www.applicom-int.com/>, or by email from David Woodhouse
+	  <dwmw2@infradead.org>.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called applicom.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config SONYPI
+	tristate "Sony Vaio Programmable I/O Control Device support"
+	depends on X86_32 && PCI && INPUT
+	help
+	  This driver enables access to the Sony Programmable I/O Control
+	  Device which can be found in many (all ?) Sony Vaio laptops.
+
+	  If you have one of those laptops, read
+	  <file:Documentation/admin-guide/laptops/sonypi.rst>, and say Y or M here.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called sonypi.
+
+config MWAVE
+	tristate "ACP Modem (Mwave) support"
+	depends on X86 && TTY
+	select SERIAL_8250
+	help
+	  The ACP modem (Mwave) for Linux is a WinModem. It is composed of a
+	  kernel driver and a user level application. Together these components
+	  support direct attachment to public switched telephone networks (PSTNs)
+	  and support selected world wide countries.
+
+	  This version of the ACP Modem driver supports the IBM Thinkpad 600E,
+	  600, and 770 that include on board ACP modem hardware.
+
+	  The modem also supports the standard communications port interface
+	  (ttySx) and is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set.
+
+	  The user level application needed to use this driver can be found at
+	  the IBM Linux Technology Center (LTC) web site:
+	  <http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc/>.
+
+	  If you own one of the above IBM Thinkpads which has the Mwave chipset
+	  in it, say Y.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called mwave.

+	select NSC_GPIO		# needed for support routines
+	help
+	  Give userspace access to the GPIO pins on the National
+	  Semiconductor PC-8736x (x=[03456]) SuperIO chip.  The chip
+	  has multiple functional units, inc several managed by
+	  hwmon/pc87360 driver.  Tested with PC-87366
+
+	  If compiled as a module, it will be called pc8736x_gpio.
+

+	depends on X86_32
+	# selected by SCx200_GPIO and PC8736x_GPIO
+	# what about 2 selectors differing: m != y
+	help
+	  Common support used (and needed) by scx200_gpio and
+	  pc8736x_gpio drivers.  If those drivers are built as
+	  modules, this one will be too, named nsc_gpio
+
+config DEVMEM
+	bool "/dev/mem virtual device support"
+	default y
+	help
+	  Say Y here if you want to support the /dev/mem device.
+	  The /dev/mem device is used to access areas of physical
+	  memory.
+	  When in doubt, say "Y".
+
+config NVRAM
+	tristate "/dev/nvram support"
+	depends on X86 || HAVE_ARCH_NVRAM_OPS
+	default M68K || PPC
+	help
+	  If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/nvram
+	  with major number 10 and minor number 144 using mknod ("man mknod"),
+	  you get read and write access to the non-volatile memory.
+
+	  /dev/nvram may be used to view settings in NVRAM or to change them
+	  (with some utility). It could also be used to frequently
+	  save a few bits of very important data that may not be lost over
+	  power-off and for which writing to disk is too insecure. Note
+	  however that most NVRAM space in a PC belongs to the BIOS and you
+	  should NEVER idly tamper with it. See Ralf Brown's interrupt list
+	  for a guide to the use of CMOS bytes by your BIOS.
+
+	  This memory is conventionally called "NVRAM" on PowerPC machines,
+	  "CMOS RAM" on PCs, "NVRAM" on Ataris and "PRAM" on Macintoshes.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called nvram.
+
+config DEVPORT
+	bool "/dev/port character device"

+	bool "Enable HPET MMAP access by default"
+	default y
+	depends on HPET_MMAP
+	help
+	  In some hardware implementations, the page containing HPET
+	  registers may also contain other things that shouldn't be
+	  exposed to the user.  This option selects the default (if
+	  kernel parameter hpet_mmap is not set) user access to the
+	  registers for applications that require it.
+
