My recent commit b6d49cab44b5 ("net: Make PTP-specific drivers depend on
PTP_1588_CLOCK") exposes a missing dependency in defconfigs that select
TI_CPTS without selecting PTP_1588_CLOCK, leading to linker errors of the
form:
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw.o: in function `cpsw_ndo_stop':
cpsw.c:(.text+0x680): undefined reference to `cpts_unregister'
...
That's because TI_CPTS_MOD (which is the symbol gating the _compilation_ of
cpts.c) now depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK, and so is not enabled in these
configurations, but TI_CPTS (which is the symbol gating _calls_ to the cpts
functions) _is_ enabled. So we end up compiling calls to functions that
don't exist, resulting in the linker errors.
This patch fixes build errors and restores previous behavior by:
- ensure PTP_1588_CLOCK=y in TI specific configs and CPTS will be built
- use IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_TI_CPTS) in code instead of IS_ENABLED()
I don't understand what IS_REACHABLE() is needed for once all the other
changes are in place. I'd hope we can avoid that. Do you still see
failures without
that or is it just a precaution. I can do some randconfig testing on your patch
to see what else might be needed to avoid IS_REACHABLE().
I've not changed this part of original patch, but seems you're right.
I can drop it and resend, but, unfortunately, i do not have time today for full build testing.
Sorry.
By the way in ptp_clock_kernel.h
#if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK)
