[PATCH] net/mlx5e: add IPV6 dependency

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2017-02-28 21:35:47
Also in: lkml, netdev
Subsystem: mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Leon Romanovsky, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The ethernet support now calls directly into the ipv6 core code, which
fails if IPV6 is a loadable module but mlx5 is built-in:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.o: In function `mlx5e_create_encap_header_ipv6':
en_tc.c:(.text.mlx5e_create_encap_header_ipv6+0x110): undefined reference to `ip6_route_output_flags'

This adds a dependency to ensure that MLX5_CORE_EN can only be built
if we are able link the kernel successfully. The downside is that the
ethernet option can be hidden. Alternatively we could make MLX5_CORE
depend on "IPV6 || !IPV6", which would force MLX5_CORE to be a module
when IPV6 is, including in configurations where we don't use the ethernet
support at all.
