[PATCH 5.10 117/167] usb: xhci: avoid renesas_usb_fw.mem when its unusable

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-07-26 16:25:52
Also in: lkml

From: Greg Thelen <redacted>

commit 0665e387318607d8269bfdea60723c627c8bae43 upstream.

Commit a66d21d7dba8 ("usb: xhci: Add support for Renesas controller with
memory") added renesas_usb_fw.mem firmware reference to xhci-pci.  Thus
modinfo indicates xhci-pci.ko has "firmware: renesas_usb_fw.mem".  But
the firmware is only actually used with CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS.  An
unusable firmware reference can trigger safety checkers which look for
drivers with unmet firmware dependencies.

Avoid referring to renesas_usb_fw.mem in circumstances when it cannot be
loaded (when CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS isn't set).

Fixes: a66d21d7dba8 ("usb: xhci: Add support for Renesas controller with memory")
