When CONFIG_IPV6 is not set, then the compilation of the lan966x driver
fails with the following error:
drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_main.c:444: undefined
reference to `ipv6_mc_check_mld'
The fix consists in adding #ifdef around this code.

It might be better to add a stub function for when IPv6 is
disabled. We try to avoid #if in C code.

If it's linking we can do:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) &&
skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) &&
ipv6_addr_is_multicast(&ipv6_hdr(skb)->daddr) &&
!ipv6_mc_check_mld(skb))
return false;
But beware that IPV6 can be a module, you may need a Kconfig dependency.

It is a linking error. I will fix in the next version

What do you think if I do something like this in the lan966x_main.h
---
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6)
static inline bool lan966x_hw_offload_ipv6(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
if (skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) &&
ipv6_addr_is_multicast(&ipv6_hdr(skb)->daddr) &&
!ipv6_mc_check_mld(skb))
return false;
return true;
}
#else
static inline bool lan966x_hw_offload_ipv6(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
return false;
}
#endif

And then in lan966x_main.c just call this function.

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) &&
skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) &&
ipv6_addr_is_multicast(&ipv6_hdr(skb)->daddr) &&

return false;

I was also looking at other drivers on how they use 'ipv6_mc_check_mld'.
Then I have seen that drivers/net/amt.c and net/bridge/br_multicast.c
they wrap this function with #if.
But then there is net/batman-adv/multicast.c which doesn't do that and
it can compile and link without CONFIG_IPV6 and I just don't see how
that is working.

The reason we prefer not to use #if is that it reduced compile testing
coverage. The block of code inside gets compiled a lot less.
And then in lan966x_main.c just call this function.

Jakub solution results in the code always being compiled, but the
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) gets turned into a constant 0 or 1. The
optimizer can then remove the whole block of code in the 0 case.

Maybe it is to do with this at the end of net/ip6/Makefile
ifneq ($(CONFIG_IPV6),)
obj-$(CONFIG_NET_UDP_TUNNEL) += ip6_udp_tunnel.o
obj-y += mcast_snoop.o
endif
