Hi,

Any randconfig that sets I2C=m and FB_MB862XX_I2C=y will
encounter a final link failure that looks like this:
It compiles fine with I2C=m, FB_MB862XX=m and FB_MB862XX_I2C=y.

drivers/built-in.o: In function `mb862xx_i2c_init':
drivers/video/mb862xx/mb862xx-i2c.c:165: undefined reference to `i2c_add_adapter'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `mb862xx_i2c_exit':
drivers/video/mb862xx/mb862xx-i2c.c:176: undefined reference to `i2c_del_adapter'

Since FB_MB862XX_I2C is a bool and not tristate, simply
don't offer it at all if core I2C support is not built in.
FB_MB862XX_I2C is not a driver, it just adds the i2c support to
FB_MB862XX. The relevant thing is whether FB_MB862XX is m or y, so
compiling with:

I2C=m, FB_MB862XX=y and FB_MB862XX_I2C=y

will fail.
How would you suggest we fix it then?  Perhaps we could simplify the
Kconfig space and just get rid of FB_MB862XX_I2C entirely?  Is there
ever a reason why someone would want it turned off when I2C is present?

Paul.

This fix is not correct, as it prevents the following, valid, config:

I2C=m, FB_MB862XX=m and FB_MB862XX_I2C=y
If I am following this correctly, this kconfig situation is often handled
by something like

	depends on I2C=y || I2Cû_MB862XX
