[linux] 4.9+ new kernel config flag CONFIG_BMP280

[h7mc8J3Sm]

Please add new kernel config flag CONFIG_BMP280, which incorporates pressure sensors bmp085, bmp180 and bmp280. In previous kernels (to 4.8) there was flag CONFIG_BMP085, which is not accesible and the appropriate driver is not compiled.

I'm using this sensor in my weather station based on Raspberry Pi over years.

CONFIG_BMP280 is defined as a module in 4.9 kernel.

Sorry, I agree. Missing module (CONFIG_BMP280) associated with 4.9.11-1-i586 ARCH. My fault.

I have two machines, i586 and ARM. Sensor BMP085 had his own driver (CONFIG_BMP085) prior to the kernel version 4.8. Only ARM core has a new module (CONFIG_BMP280) compiled.

Please specify _which_ kernel package this should apply to?

[h7mc8J3Sm]

Package core/linux

On i586:
modprobe: FATAL: Module bmp280 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.10.6-1-ARCH

armv6l:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i bmp280
CONFIG_BMP280=m
CONFIG_BMP280_I2C=m
CONFIG_BMP280_SPI=m

i586:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i bmp280
# CONFIG_BMP280 is not set

That's for them, and we've got no control
