A few driver kernel configuration items are disabled by default in slackwareaarch64-current

Hi,
I noticed that in the slackwareaarch64-current kernel configuration, a few driver items are turned off by default, like 'CONFIG_BT_LE', 'CONFIG_ATA_SFF', 'CONFIG_HID_PLANTRONICS', which are usually set to 'y' or 'm' in other distributions.
Are they not supported anymore on aarch64?

Thanks.

Those will be in the next build, thanks.

What AArch64 platforms require legacy PATA/IDE ?

I have not used such a platform. I just noticed that this configuration item is turned on in other distributions.
If there are few AArch64 platforms that require legacy PATA/IDE in real world applications, then there is no problem turning it off here.
