When building without CONFIG_OF, the compiler loses track of the flow control in axis_fifo_probe(), and thinks that many variables are used without an initialization even though we actually leave the function before the first use: drivers/staging/axis-fifo/axis-fifo.c: In function 'axis_fifo_probe': drivers/staging/axis-fifo/axis-fifo.c:900:5: error: 'rxd_tdata_width' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] if (rxd_tdata_width != 32) { ^ drivers/staging/axis-fifo/axis-fifo.c:907:5: error: 'txd_tdata_width' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] if (txd_tdata_width != 32) { ^ drivers/staging/axis-fifo/axis-fifo.c:914:5: error: 'has_tdest' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] if (has_tdest) { ^ drivers/staging/axis-fifo/axis-fifo.c:919:5: error: 'has_tid' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] When CONFIG_OF is set, this does not happen, and since the driver cannot work without it, just add that option as a Kconfig dependency.
