[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 4/6] ppp: mppe: Add softdep to arc4

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-07-03 02:19:33
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: networking drivers, ppp protocol drivers and compressors, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Takashi Iwai <redacted>

[ Upstream commit aad1dcc4f011ea409850e040363dff1e59aa4175 ]

The arc4 crypto is mandatory at ppp_mppe probe time, so let's put a
softdep line, so that the corresponding module gets prepared
gracefully.  Without this, a simple inclusion to initrd via dracut
failed due to the missing dependency, for example.
