From 3389669ac5ea598562673c04971d7bb0fab0e9f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Noralf=20Tr=C3=B8nnes?= Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 12:43:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/tinydrm/Kconfig: drivers: Select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The mipi_dbi helper is missing a dependency on DRM_KMS_HELPER and putting that in revealed this problem: drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12:error: recursive dependency detected! drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:75: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:69: symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by TINYDRM_MIPI_DBI drivers/gpu/drm/tinydrm/Kconfig:11: symbol TINYDRM_MIPI_DBI is selected by TINYDRM_HX8357D drivers/gpu/drm/tinydrm/Kconfig:15: symbol TINYDRM_HX8357D depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig:144: symbol BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is selected by FB_BACKLIGHT drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:187: symbol FB_BACKLIGHT depends on FB A symbol that selects DRM_KMS_HELPER can not depend on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE. The reason for this is that DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER selects FB instead of depending on it. The tinydrm drivers have somehow gotten away with depending on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE because DRM_TINYDRM selects DRM_KMS_HELPER and the drivers depend on that symbol. An audit shows that all DRM drivers that select DRM_KMS_HELPER and use BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE, selects it: DRM_TILCDC, DRM_GMA500, DRM_SHMOBILE, DRM_NOUVEAU, DRM_FSL_DCU, DRM_I915, DRM_RADEON, DRM_AMDGPU, DRM_PARADE_PS8622 Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt has a note regarding select: 1. 'select should be used with care since it doesn't visit dependencies.' This is not a problem since BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE doesn't have any dependencies. 2. 'In general use select only for non-visible symbols' BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is user visible. The real solution to this would be to have DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depend on the user visible symbol FB. That is a can of worms I'm not willing to tackle. I fear that such a change will result in me handling difficult fallouts for the next weeks. So I'm following DRM suite here.
