So it would make sense to combine the two patches into a single one and to give that an appropriate changelog. How does this look? (Primary author was chosen randomly) From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Subject: logfs: fix logfs build errors and dependencies Fix build errors that happen when CONFIG_LOGFS=y and CONFIG_MTD=m: fs/built-in.o: In function `logfs_mount': super.c:(.text+0x92a6f): undefined reference to `logfs_get_sb_mtd' fs/built-in.o: In function `logfs_get_sb_bdev': (.text+0x93530): undefined reference to `logfs_get_sb_mtd' This patch avoids the error by changing the dependencies of logfs in a way that we can no longer configure logfs as built-in when the MTD core is a loadable module, while leaving the dependency to require at least one of MTD or BLOCK to be enabled.
