Let's use select, since there's no prompt for VIRTIO and it doesn't have
any dependencies.
whoops, it's not that simple:

Seems that we can only depend on or select some symbol - we run into
huge trouble if thats mixed. Just changed DRM_VIRTIO_GPU to just select
VIRIO instead of depending on it, and now it works.

I've posted another patch for fixing drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/Kconfig
to use 'select' instead of 'depends on'.
It seems a bit of a mess, at this point I'm not entirely sure when
should drivers select VIRTIO and when depend on it.

The text near it says:

# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
config VIRTIO
          tristate
          help
            This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
            bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_RPMSG
            or CONFIG_S390_GUEST.

Which seems clear enough and would indicate drivers for devices *behind*
the bus should not select VIRTIO and thus presumably should "depend on" it.
This is violated in virtio console and virtio fs drivers.

For console it says:

commit 9f30eb29c514589e16f2999ea070598583d1f6ec
Author: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@xxxxxxx>

      char: virtio: Select VIRTIO from VIRTIO_CONSOLE.
      Make it possible to have virtio console built-in when
      other virtio drivers are modular.

which seems kind of bogus - why do we care about allowing a builtin
virtio console driver if the pci virtio bus driver is a module?
There won't be any devices on the bus to attach to ...

For testing like switching bus from pci to MMIO?

Not sure I understand ... can you give an example?


E.g testing

modprobe -r virtio_mmio
modprobe virtio_pci

?



And for virtio fs it was like this from the beginning.

I am inclined to fix console and virtio fs to depend on VIRTIO:
select is harder to use correctly ...

Jason?

I think it works, but we need a prompt for VIRTIO otherwise there's no way
to enable it.

Thanks
That's even messier. No one needs VIRTIO core by itself - it's only used
by transports and drivers.


So we endup with two solutions (without a prompt):

1) using select, user may end up with driver without transport
2) using depends, user need to enable at least one transport

2) looks a little bit better I admit.

Thanks
