When VIDEO_MAX96712 is selected, and VIDEO_DEV is not selected, Kbuild gives the following warning: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API Depends on [n]: MEDIA_SUPPORT [=y] && VIDEO_DEV [=n] && MEDIA_CONTROLLER [=y] Selected by [y]: - VIDEO_MAX96712 [=y] && STAGING [=y] && STAGING_MEDIA [=y] && MEDIA_SUPPORT [=y] && I2C [=y] && OF_GPIO [=y] This is because VIDEO_MAX96712 selects VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API, without selecting or depending on VIDEO_DEV, despite VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API depending on VIDEO_DEV. This unmet dependency bug was detected by Kismet, a static analysis tool for Kconfig. Please advise if this is not the appropriate solution.
