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 MACH_ASPEED_G* depend on (ARCH_ASPEED || COMPILE_TEST). ARCH_ASPEED enables the MFD_SYSCON dependency, but COMPILE_TEST doesn't. These unmet dependency bugs were detected by Kismet, a static analysis tool for Kconfig. Please advise if this is not the appropriate solution.
