From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> The "select" kconfig keyword provides reverse dependency, however it doesn't check that selected symbol meets its own dependencies. Usually "select" is used for non-visible symbols, so instead of trying to keep dependencies in sync with BNXT ethernet driver, simply "depends on" it, like Kconfig documentation suggest. * CONFIG_PCI is already required by BNXT * CONFIG_NETDEVICES and CONFIG_ETHERNET are needed to chose BNXT Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/Kconfig | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/Kconfig b/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/Kconfig index 0feac5132ce1..6a17f5cdb020 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/Kconfig @@ -2,9 +2,7 @@ config INFINIBAND_BNXT_RE tristate "Broadcom Netxtreme HCA support" depends on 64BIT - depends on ETHERNET && NETDEVICES && PCI && INET && DCB - select NET_VENDOR_BROADCOM - select BNXT + depends on INET && DCB && BNXT help This driver supports Broadcom NetXtreme-E 10/25/40/50 gigabit RoCE HCAs.
