Subject: [PATCH V4 1/2] watchdog: imx_sc: Add i.MX system controller watchdog support

i.MX8QXP is an ARMv8 SoC which has a Cortex-M4 system controller
inside, the system controller is in charge of controlling power,
clock and watchdog etc..

This patch adds i.MX system controller watchdog driver support,
watchdog operation needs to be done in secure EL3 mode via
ARM-Trusted-Firmware, using SMC call, CPU will trap into
ARM-Trusted-Firmware and then it will request system controller
to do watchdog operation via IPC.

Changes since V3:
- add ARM64 dependency for this driver;
- change SPDX license to GPL-2.0 to match module license;
- register platform device in driver instead of getting from dts;
- return linux error code instead of system controller firmware error code for watchdog operation
failed case.

With this patch applied, alpha:allmodconfig and almost all other
allmodconfig/allyesconfig builds fail with:

ERROR: "__arm_smccc_smc" [drivers/watchdog/imx_sc_wdt.ko] undefined!
scripts/Makefile.modpost:92: recipe for target '__modpost' failed
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
Makefile:1260: recipe for target 'modules' failed

as I told you before would happen. For the future, please consider
that forcing me to "prove" such failures does take a significant
amount of time, which is not always readily available.

Sorry for wasting your time, it is just because I misunderstand your point, NOT
that I did NOT force you to prove it.

I am a little confuse, since this is new to me about these configs, I looked into
other drivers which also use arm_smccc_smc, they do NOT add special config
dependency for the failure build cause as you said, can you be more detail about
this build issue, I tried below build, but the failure I met is other, so could you please
advise how to fix such dependency issue, adding dummy function looks like NOT
a good way since this arm_smccc_smc() API is widely used in kernel, there should be
some common solution for it, Thanks in advanced and appreciate for your time.

Anson.

I am quite sure that the other drivers calling arm_smccc_smc don't have
"|| COMPILE_TEST" as dependency, or they have a secondary dependency.

Randomly picking some

RTC_DRV_IMX_SC - no.
ARM_RK3399_DMC_DEVFREQ - no.
PHY_MVEBU_A3700_COMPHY - yes, but it also has "depends on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC" as
separate line, limiting its scope.

You can either drop "|| COMPILE_TEST" or add "depends on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC"
in a separate line. There may be other options, but I did not explore them.
