linux-next commit ce79d54ae447d65117303ca9f61ffe9dcbc2465d ("spi/of: Add OF notifier handler") is causing the following warning during boot: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/spi/spi.c:2424 spi_init+0x8c/0xc8() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.18.0-rc6-next-20141201+ #77 Hardware name: NVIDIA Tegra132 Norrin (DT) Call trace: [<ffffffc00008a0f8>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x12c [<ffffffc00008a234>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc00056c474>] dump_stack+0x74/0xc4 [<ffffffc0000b1938>] warn_slowpath_common+0x98/0xcc [<ffffffc0000b1a30>] warn_slowpath_null+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffc0007892fc>] spi_init+0x88/0xc8 [<ffffffc0000828c4>] do_one_initcall+0x88/0x1a8 [<ffffffc00076aad4>] kernel_init_freeable+0x140/0x1e8 [<ffffffc000567208>] kernel_init+0xc/0xd4 ---[ end trace 39b2574b2cb43456 ]--- This was reported by Fengguang Wu on November 22: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/22/109 and November 28: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2059702 The warning is generated when the code tests the return value of of_reconfig_notifier_register(), which returns -EINVAL. This occurs whenever CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC is not set. This warning will likely affect any configuration with CONFIG_SPI && CONFIG_OF && !CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC. Fix by modifying the preceding kernel configuration option test to test for CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC, not CONFIG_OF. This patch applies on linux-next 20141201.
