Subject: [PATCH] phy-core: Don't allow building phy-core as a module
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
include/phy/phy.h has stub code in there for when building without the
|
||
|
|
phy-core enabled. This is useful for generic drivers such as ahci-platform,
|
||
|
|
ehci-platoform and ohci-platform which have support for driving an optional
|
||
|
|
phy passed to them through the devicetree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since on some boards this phy functionality is not needed, being able to
|
||
|
|
disable the phy subsystem without needing a lot of #ifdef magic in the
|
||
|
|
driver using it is quite useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However this breaks when the module using the phy subsystem is build-in and
|
||
|
|
the phy-core is not, which leads to the build failing with missing symbol
|
||
|
|
errors in the linking stage of the zImage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which leads to gems such as this being added to the Kconfig for achi_platform:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
depends on GENERIC_PHY || !GENERIC_PHY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rather then duplicating this code in a lot of places using the phy-core,
|
||
|
|
I believe it is better to simply not allow the phy-core to be built as a
|
||
|
|
module. The phy core is quite small and has no external dependencies, so
|
||
|
|
always building it in when enabling it should not be an issue.
