Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] drivers/gpu/drm: don't select DMA_CMA or CMA from aspeed or etnaviv

In particular, it does not prevent a configuration with 'DRM_CMA=m'

I assume you meant "DRM_CMA=n" ? DRM_CMA cannot be built as a module.

Ok, at least that makes it easier.

and 'DRMA_ASPEED_GFX=y', or any build failures from such
a configuration.

I don't follow. "DRM_CMA=n" and 'DRMA_ASPEED_GFX=y' is supposed to work
just fine (e.g., without HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS) or what am I missing?

I thought you were trying to solve the problem where DRMA_ASPEED_GFX
can optionally link against CMA but would fail to build when the CMA code
is in a loadable module.

Yes. I was trying to say: it works with this patch just fine. The issue you described does not seem to apply (DRM_CMA=m).


Your example looks more like a NOP - no?
Or will it have the same effect?

The example I gave is only meaningful if both are tristate, which is
not the case here as you explain.

Okay, thanks.


It is a somewhat awkward way to say "prevent this symbol from
being =y if the dependency is =m".

What would be the right thing to do in the case here then to achieve the "if DRMA_ASPEED_GFX is enabled, also enable DMA_CMA id possible"?

One approach could be to have for DMA_CMA

default y if DRMA_ASPEED_GFX

but it feels like the wrong way to tackle this.

Thanks!
