No.  The other client will need to select PCC too.


Yes the PCC users/clients selecting PCC is fine and that's already
done(i.e. ACPI_CPPC_LIB selects PCC). I still don't understand the need
for this change, also how will other clients possibly select PCC which
now depends on CPPC_LIB ? e.g. if we have

config ACPI_XYZ_LIB
          select PCC

config ACPI_XYZ
          select ACPI_XYZ_LIB

Won't this shout warning: (ACPI_XYZ_LIB && ACPI_CPPC_LIB) selects PCC
which has unmet direct dependencies (MAILBOX && ACPI && ACPI_CPPC_LIB)
if ACPI_CPPC_LIB is not selected ?

That depends on the "depends on" clauses used.  Selecting itself
doesn't cause any dependencies to appear.


Agreed and I am absolutely fine with that. But if you look at this
patch, it does

config PCC
	bool "Platform Communication Channel Driver"
	depends on ACPI && ACPI_CPPC_LIB

My bad, I've evidently overlooked that.

If PPC is selected from ACPI_CPPC_LIB, the "depends on" above is
obviously not needed.


Thanks for the confirmation.

I am fine with ACPI_CPPC_LIB selecting PCC which is already done in
earlier patch. I am against making PCC depend on ACPI_CPPC_LIB.

OK, makes sense.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.


It's okay, I just wanted to make sure that I am not missing to
understand some kind of dependency.

Regards,
Sudeep
