I think this proposal still has problems with the directionality of the call. The arm-smmu-impl.o calls to arm-smmu-qcom.o which calls qcom_scm.o So if qcom_scm.o is part of a module, the calling code in arm-smmu-qcom.o also needs to be a module, which means CONFIG_ARM_SMMU needs to be a module. I know you said the arm-smmu driver doesn't care about SoC details, but the trouble is that currently the arm-smmu driver does directly call the qcom-scm code. So it is a real dependency. However, if QCOM_SCM is not configured, it calls stubs and that's ok. In that way, the "depends on QCOM_SCM || !QCOM_SCM" line actually makes sense. It looks terrible because we're used to boolean logic, but it's ternary. Maybe can have the ARM_SMMU_QCOM_IMPL approach you suggest above, but that just holds the issue out at arms length, because we're still going to need to have: depends on ARM_SMMU_QCOM_IMPL || !ARM_SMMU_QCOM_IMPL in the ARM_SMMU definition, which I suspect you're wanting to avoid. Otherwise the only thing I can think of is a deeper reworking of the arm-smmu-impl code so that the arm-smmu-qcom code probes itself and registers its hooks with the arm-smmu core. That way the arm-smmu driver would not directly call any SoC specific code (and thus have no dependencies outward). But it's probably a fair amount of churn vs the extra depends string. thanks -john
