Dear Chris,
your commit 9f267eb8d2ea ("drm/i915: Stop the machine whilst capturing
the GPU crash dump") has popped up in today's linux-next and adds a
select from DRM_I915 on STOP_MACHINE, which is not defined anywhere in
Kconfig.
STOP_MACHINE has been removed a while ago (see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/19/133). I assume that HOTPLUG_CPU
could be used?
I detected the issue with scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py by diffing
yesterday's and today's linux-next.
Best regards,
Valentin

No. We don't need the select anymore as the core machinery now just
works without having to force compilation of the correct code.

I completely forgot that we already had serialised with the STOP_MACHINE
removal and had accidentally reintroduce the select in commit
9f267eb8d2ea ("drm/i915: Stop the machine whilst capturing the GPU
crash dump")
Thanks,
