What 3rd party module is it that you're building, that is delivered to you in a state to only allow in-tree builds? That's a pretty uncommon situation. Are the config options you need to be set something that only this module knows about, or are they something the rest of the kernel knows about?
Without trying to sound confrontational, why not build it out of tree? Well, there's nothing wrong to build a true 3rd party module out-of-tree. It might very well be your only choice due to a number of factors. Though, if you can get it upstreamed, you'll win in the long term. Cheers,
Anders I'm playing with a module off of github - fbtft. All the config is local to the module.
