3.2.92-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit 34bf129a7f068e3108dbb051b4b05674e2a270e7 upstream. While working on another build error, I ran into several variations of this dependency loop: subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/input/Kconfig:8: symbol INPUT is selected by VT For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/tty/Kconfig:12: symbol VT is selected by FB_STI For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:677: symbol FB_STI depends on FB For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:5: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:72: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER is selected by DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:137: symbol DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER is selected by DRM_HDLCD For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/gpu/drm/arm/Kconfig:6: symbol DRM_HDLCD depends on OF For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/of/Kconfig:4: symbol OF is selected by X86_INTEL_CE For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" arch/x86/Kconfig:523: symbol X86_INTEL_CE depends on X86_IO_APIC For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" arch/x86/Kconfig:1011: symbol X86_IO_APIC depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" arch/x86/Kconfig:1005: symbol X86_LOCAL_APIC depends on X86_UP_APIC For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" arch/x86/Kconfig:980: symbol X86_UP_APIC depends on PCI_MSI For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/pci/Kconfig:11: symbol PCI_MSI is selected by AMD_IOMMU For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/iommu/Kconfig:106: symbol AMD_IOMMU depends on IOMMU_SUPPORT For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/iommu/Kconfig:5: symbol IOMMU_SUPPORT is selected by DRM_ETNAVIV For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/gpu/drm/etnaviv/Kconfig:2: symbol DRM_ETNAVIV depends on THERMAL For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/thermal/Kconfig:5: symbol THERMAL is selected by ACPI_VIDEO For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" drivers/acpi/Kconfig:183: symbol ACPI_VIDEO is selected by INPUT This doesn't currently show up as I fixed the 'THERMAL' part of it, but I noticed that the FB_STI dependency should not be there but was introduced by slightly incorrect bug-fix patch that tried to fix a link error. Instead of selecting 'VT' to make us enter the drivers/video/console directory at compile-time, it's sufficient to build the drivers/video/console/sticore.c file by adding its directory to when CONFIG_FB_STI is enabled. Alternatively, we could move the sticore code to another directory that is always built when we have at STI_CONSOLE or FB_STI enabled.
