Subject: [PATCH] GPIO_SCH and I2C_SCH: select MFD_SUPPORT to eliminate kconfig warnings

From: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>

I2C_ISCH and GPIO_SCH need to select MFD_SUPPORT so that the
dependency tree hierarchy is satisfied. This eliminates the
kconfig warning:

warning: (I2C_ISCH && I2C && PCI || GPIO_SCH && GPIOLIB && PCI) selects LPC_SCH which has unmet direct dependencies (MFD_SUPPORT && PCI)

It seems wrong to have to select both MFD_SUPPORT and MFD_CORE. Can't
the MFD subsystem be cleaned up so that subdrivers have a single symbol
to select beyond their own?

I don't quite get the point of MFD_CORE. MFD_SUPPORT could be made
tristate, and MFD_CORE dropped (and then MFD_SUPPORT renamed to
MFD_CORE to minimize the changes.) This is exactly how I2C support is
implemented, for example.

OK, I'll look into that. Thanks.

Hmm, it seems that MFD_SUPPORT enables MFD_CORE, and as such, I don't
think MFD_CORE can be selected without the MFD_SUPPORT.

My view would be to add MFD_NEEDED, or NEEDS_MFD which would force
the MFD_SUPPORT and MFD_CORE on in one go.
