In that case, first enable the CONFIG_OF option if disabled. CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO depends on the former. For "CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO depends on CONFIG_OF" we mean that you can the former if and only if the latter is already enabled. Actually, CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO depends also on two other options. However you shouldn't worry about those others because they are commonly enabled in more than 99% of PC distributions. > > Should I start with the steps to reproduce? :'( > > I did see a report of this same warning occurring with GCC but the > report I commented on cane from clang/LLVM; using that toolchain may > make it easier for you to reproduce this issue.
