.. even when that "default y" is hidden syntactically as a default !EXPERT it's wrong. The only reason something should be 'default y' is if it used to be built-in, and it was made configurable, and the 'default y' is just retaining the status quo. Altheratively, the hardware for the driver has become _so_ common that it really makes sense for everybody to build it. Finally, one possible reason for 'default y' is because the option is not enabling any new code at all, but is just enabling other options (the networking people do this for vendor options, for example, so that you can disable whole vendors at a time). Clearly, none of these cases hold for the BigBen Interactive Kids' gamepad, and HID_BIGBEN_FF should thus most definitely not default to on for everybody.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
