This leads to what Russell referred in the past as "select madness" [1] Are you concerned with bloat issues? I know your point of view but the idea was to build these options by default for these platforms even though in some cases it might not be used. I have seen folks including myself select the wrong option. Having the build system automatically select the correct option for the most common cases can be very useful I feel and not require manual configuration. > In this particular case, it is perfectly okay to have a DaVinci platform > without DMA engine support.

Drivers can still use PIO mode if they wish even though DMA is built into the kernel right. >> select USE_OF >> select ZONE_DMA >> help >> diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig >> index f91b07f..c02f083 100644 >> --- a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig >> +++ b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig >> @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ config ARCH_OMAP2PLUS >> select PROC_DEVICETREE if PROC_FS >> select SOC_BUS >> select SPARSE_IRQ >> + select DMADEVICES >> select TI_PRIV_EDMA >> select USE_OF >> help >> diff --git a/drivers/dma/Kconfig b/drivers/dma/Kconfig >> index 3215a3c..b2d6f15 100644 >> --- a/drivers/dma/Kconfig >> +++ b/drivers/dma/Kconfig >> @@ -216,7 +216,7 @@ config TI_EDMA >> depends on ARCH_DAVINCI || ARCH_OMAP >> select DMA_ENGINE >> select DMA_VIRTUAL_CHANNELS >> - default n >> + default y > > Can't see why DMA support should default to y. > For same reason as above.
