The Kconfig help text:

> Say m if you want to have the option of updating the BIOS for your
> DELL system. Note you need a Dell OpenManage or Dell Update package
> (DUP) supporting application to communicate with the BIOS regarding
> the new image for the image update to take effect.  See

In contrast to Linux 4.9, with Linux 4.14.x and the out-of-tree aacraid
driver the system crashes, when unplugging a JBOD.

This doesn’t happen with the in-tree-driver, so switch to that one. This
is also possible, since our tools where adapted to work around a missing
symbolic link under `/sys`.
> I don't think we need static EXT3,EXT4 and JFS at all.
> CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m will imply CONFIG_EXT4_FS=m
