Is this really a compile-time dependency?
From a quick look at the code, I doubt this is really a build dependency.
If so, don't we need to add T210 and T186 entries into that || condition
too,
since we could be building a kernel with just T210/T186 support and no
T124
support?
In the spirit of this patch, adding entries for other tegra platforms would
make
sense. Would you prefer that we leave out the dependency from
SND_SOC_TEGRA30_*
and only select the right I2S driver to use in each codec driver?
If not, we'd have to list all relevant platforms both in the I2S/AHUB
drivers
and in each codec's rules (which is not necessarily and issue, but there's
no
need to have artificial platform dependencies).
What do you think?
I think we should just remove most of these "depends on" since they're
mostly set up to reflect runtime requirements rather than build time
requirements. The only points I'd make are:
I definitely agree we should do that for all the codec Kconfig options.
1)
Everything should "depends on SND_SOC_TEGRA" simply so the options don't
show up and clutter menuconfig menus unless SND_SOC_TEGRA is enabled.
Agreed.
2)
SND_SOC_TEGRA30_I2S does need the Tegra30 AHUB driver in order to
compile/link, since it directly calls functions in that driver. This is
already handled by SND_SOC_TEGRA30_I2S doing "select SND_SOC_TEGRA30_AHUB".
Agreed.
3)
The machine drivers all do e.g. "select SND_SOC_TEGRA30_I2S if
ARCH_TEGRA_3x_SOC". This was an attempt to make the machine drivers only
pull in the relevant drivers for the SoC(s) being compiled for. I'm not
sure this still makes sense; this won't work on kernels that only
support T124/T210/T186 since ARCH_TEGRA_3x_SOC isn't enabled then.
Should we just remove all those and make sure the defconfigs are updated
to make sure the relevant I2S/AHUB/SPDIF/AC97 drivers are explicitly
enabled? Perhaps we should default all the I2S/AHUB/SPDIF/AC97 to y
(which will only apply if SND_SOC_TEGRA is enabled)?
I think it would be easier for everyone to just auto-select the machine drivers
automatically based on the architecture (so we could have the list of
ARCH_TEGRA_*_SOC here) when SND_SOC_TEGRA is selected.
I don't think selecting the machine drivers is the correct approach,
since then they can't be disabled.
Making certain machine drivers "default y if ARCH_TEGRA_nn_SOC" would
address that, but still isn't very scalable since we need to go back and
edit the Kconfig every time we define a new SoC, in order to add that
SoC into the default statement.
Not only does this preserve existing configs (including external ones that
aren't part of the kernel tree), it also clearly maps which machine driver to
use for which SoC instead of having users do it by hand.
The machine drivers aren't terribly tied to SoCs by design; most of them
would work on pretty much any SoC. They're only tied to SoCs as a
side-effect of a machine driver being tied to a certain CODEC, and
certain CODECS just by chance are only used (so far) on specific boards,
which have specific SoCs.
I'm also opposed to auto-selecting them all, because I don't really like the
idea of auto-including things that might not be needed.
Would that be agreeable?
