+detect and read serial NVRAM
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_NVRAM_DETECT
+ Enable support for reading the serial NVRAM data on Symbios and
+ some Symbios compatible cards, and Tekram DC390W/U/F cards. Useful for
+ systems with more than one Symbios compatible controller where at least
+ one has a serial NVRAM, or for a system with a mixture of Symbios and
+ Tekram cards. Enables setting the boot order of host adaptors
+ to something other than the default order or "reverse probe" order.
+ Also enables Symbios and Tekram cards to be distinguished so
+ CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT may be set in a system with a
+ mixture of Symbios and Tekram cards so the Symbios cards can make use of
+ the full range of Symbios features, differential, led pin, without
+ causing problems for the Tekram card(s).
+ (added by Richard Waltham: dormouse@farsrobt.demon.co.uk)
+ Also enables setting host and targets SCSI features as defined in the
+ user setup for each host using a serial NVRAM (added by the maintainer).
+ The default answer is N, the normal answer should be Y.
+ Read drivers/scsi/README.ncr53c8xx for more information.

- This option allows you to enable some features depending on GPIO wiring.
- These general purpose input/output pins can be used for vendor specific
- features or implementation of the standard SYMBIOS features.
- Genuine SYMBIOS boards use GPIO0 in output for controller LED and GPIO3
- bit as a flag indicating singled-ended/differential interface.
