With respect to the following commits:
df0b344 drm/usb: select USB_SUPPORT in Kconfig
8f057d7 gpu/mfd/usb: Fix USB randconfig problems
... which end up with the following in next-20120904:
config DRM_USB
depends on DRM
depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD
select USB
select USB_SUPPORT
config DRM_UDL
depends on DRM && EXPERIMENTAL
depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD
select DRM_USB
Surely this is backwards; these should be dependencies, not selects? In
other words:
config DRM_USB
depends on DRM && USB
config DRM_UDL
depends on DRM && EXPERIMENTAL && USB
select DRM_USB
or perhaps:
config DRM_USB
depends on DRM && USB
config DRM_UDL
depends on DRM && EXPERIMENTAL && DRM_USB
The problem here is that currently, the dependency logic for USB:
config USB
depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD
... is duplicated into each of DRM_USB and DRM_UDL, thus requiring both
of those to be edited should the dependencies for USB ever change.
The current state of the code also causes some strange problem with
ARM's tegra_defconfig, whereby running "make tegra_defconfig" will
result in USB support fully enabled in .config as expected, yet
subsequently running "make oldconfig" will cause all USB support to be
removed from .config. For some reason, the above DRM logic is causing
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD not to be selected (perhaps it isn't evaluated
because USB is selected, so there's no need to evaluate USB's
dependencies?). Arguably, this is a deficiency in Tegra's Kconfig, in
that it probably should say:
select USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI
not:
select USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI if USB_SUPPORT
... but it has contained the latter for quite some time, and it's always
worked before somehow.
