A lot of platform code calls into the usb phy core at the moment, which does not work if it is built as a loadable module. This will hopefully change when those platforms are all converted to DT based probing, but for now, the easiest solution is to change it from "tristate" to "bool". This solves at least these ARM allmodconfig build errors: arch/arm/mach-imx/built-in.o: In function `imx_otg_ulpi_create': arch/arm/mach-imx/ulpi.c:117: undefined reference to `otg_ulpi_create' arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `usbhs_init_phys': arch/arm/mach-omap2/usb-host.c:652: undefined reference to `usb_bind_phy' arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap_2430sdp_init': arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-2430sdp.c:236: undefined reference to `usb_bind_phy' arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap3_beagle_init': arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3beagle.c:554: undefined reference to `usb_bind_phy' arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `devkit8000_init': arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-devkit8000.c:596: undefined reference to `usb_bind_phy' arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap_ldp_init': arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-ldp.c:379: undefined reference to `usb_bind_phy' drivers/built-in.o: In function `ab8500_charger_probe': drivers/power/ab8500_charger.c:3629: undefined reference to `usb_get_phy' drivers/power/ab8500_charger.c:3706: undefined reference to `usb_put_phy' drivers/built-in.o: In function `ab8500_charger_remove': drivers/power/ab8500_charger.c:3411: undefined reference to `usb_put_phy' Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Felipe Balbi <balbi@xxxxxx> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-usb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- drivers/usb/phy/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/phy/Kconfig b/drivers/usb/phy/Kconfig index 21153d1..371d0e7 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/phy/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/usb/phy/Kconfig @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Physical Layer USB driver configuration # menuconfig USB_PHY - tristate "USB Physical Layer drivers" + bool "USB Physical Layer drivers" help USB controllers (those which are host, device or DRD) need a device to handle the physical layer signalling, commonly called -- 1.8.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
