While trying a fix a build warning unrelated to s3c64xx, I ran into a circular dependency: drivers/i2c/Kconfig:7: symbol I2C is selected by FB_DDC drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:63: symbol FB_DDC is selected by FB_CYBER2000_DDC drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:381: symbol FB_CYBER2000_DDC depends on FB_CYBER2000 drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:369: symbol FB_CYBER2000 depends on FB drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:5: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:72: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER is selected by DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:137: symbol DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER is selected by DRM_PL111 drivers/gpu/drm/pl111/Kconfig:1: symbol DRM_PL111 depends on ARM_AMBA drivers/amba/Kconfig:1: symbol ARM_AMBA is selected by S3C64XX_PL080 arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/Kconfig:42: symbol S3C64XX_PL080 default value contains DMADEVICES drivers/dma/Kconfig:5: symbol DMADEVICES is selected by SND_SOC_SH4_SIU sound/soc/sh/Kconfig:29: symbol SND_SOC_SH4_SIU is selected by SND_SIU_MIGOR sound/soc/sh/Kconfig:59: symbol SND_SIU_MIGOR depends on I2C The I2C and FB dependencies are hard to untangle, but I notice that S3C64XX_PL080 selecting ARM_AMBA is one piece of the puzzle that can easily be avoided, as ARCH_S3C64XX already select ARM_AMBA. Removing the redundant 'select' now can help us in the future if we run into a variation of the same dependency.
Yes, selecting ARM_AMBA from drivers is definitely not right; this symbol should be selected only by platforms that want AMBA primecell bus support, not by drivers, precisely because of these dependency issues. There's another case where ARM_AMBA is selected that probably needs fixing - the coresight hwtracing code. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
