When PINCTRL_ASPEED_G* is selected, and MFD_SYSCON is not selected, Kbuild gives the following warnings: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PINCTRL_ASPEED Depends on [n]: PINCTRL [=y] && (ARCH_ASPEED [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && OF [=y] && MFD_SYSCON [=n] Selected by [y]: - PINCTRL_ASPEED_G4 [=y] && PINCTRL [=y] && (MACH_ASPEED_G4 [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && OF [=y] WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PINCTRL_ASPEED Depends on [n]: PINCTRL [=y] && (ARCH_ASPEED [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && OF [=y] && MFD_S> Selected by [y]: - PINCTRL_ASPEED_G5 [=y] && PINCTRL [=y] && (MACH_ASPEED_G5 [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && O> WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PINCTRL_ASPEED Depends on [n]: PINCTRL [=y] && (ARCH_ASPEED [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && OF [=y] && MFD_S> Selected by [y]: - PINCTRL_ASPEED_G6 [=y] && PINCTRL [=y] && (MACH_ASPEED_G6 [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && O> This is because PINCTRL_ASPEED_G* selects PINCTRL_ASPEED, without selecting or depending on MFD_SYSCON, despite PINCTRL_ASPEED depending on MFD_SYSCON. These unmet dependency bugs were detected by Kismet, a static analysis tool for Kconfig. Please advise if this is not the appropriate solution.
