When the SMC protocol is built into the kernel proper while ISM is configured to be built as module, linking the kernel fails due to unresolved dependencies out of net/smc/smc_ism.o to ism_get_smcd_ops, ism_register_client, and ism_unregister_client as reported via the linux-next test automation (see link). This however is a bug introduced a while ago. Correct the dependency list in ISM's and SMC's Kconfig to reflect the dependencies that are actually inverted. With this you cannot build a kernel with CONFIG_SMC=y and CONFIG_ISM=m. Either ISM needs to be 'y', too - or a 'n'. That way, SMC can still be configured on non-s390 architectures that do not have (nor need) an ISM driver.
