Subject: [merged] firmware-google-drop-select-efi-to-avoid-recursive-dependency.patch removed from -mm tree To: ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx,mikew@xxxxxxxxxx,rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 11:10:01 -0800 The patch titled Subject: firmware/google: drop 'select EFI' to avoid recursive dependency has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was firmware-google-drop-select-efi-to-avoid-recursive-dependency.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: firmware/google: drop 'select EFI' to avoid recursive dependency The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI. This causes problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that depends on EFI, as it results in a recursive dependency: arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected! arch/arm/Kconfig:1845: symbol DMI depends on EFI Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.
