VIRTIO itself has no dependencies and therefore can easily be just select'ed, instead of depending on it. The current depends on causes any others trying to select VIRTIO to fail like this: drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74:error: recursive dependency detected! drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74: symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_VIRTIO_GPU drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/Kconfig:2: symbol DRM_VIRTIO_GPU depends on VIRTIO drivers/virtio/Kconfig:2: symbol VIRTIO is selected by GPIO_VIRTIO drivers/gpio/Kconfig:1618: symbol GPIO_VIRTIO depends on GPIOLIB drivers/gpio/Kconfig:14: symbol GPIOLIB is selected by I2C_MUX_LTC4306 drivers/i2c/muxes/Kconfig:47: symbol I2C_MUX_LTC4306 depends on I2C drivers/i2c/Kconfig:8: symbol I2C is selected by FB_DDC drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:63: symbol FB_DDC depends on FB drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER It seems that having both 'depends on' as well as 'select' on the same symbol sends us into big trouble, and Kconfig can't break up the circular dependency (note that in the tested configuration, neither I2C, FB or DRM are enabled at all). Perhaps we could consider this a bug in Kconfig, but the trouble can easily be circumvented by changing 'depends on' into 'select'. DRM_VIRTIO_GPU also depends on VIRTIO_MENU, so even after this change, that option will only show up if the user already enabled virtio in the config. This change didn't cause any changes in the .config after menuconfig run, so we should be completely safe here. Signed-off-by: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult <info@xxxxxxxxx>
