It depends on if qcom_common.c is optional for ath10k_snoc.

If it is optional, this patch is correct.


If it is mandatory
depends on QCOM_RPROC_COMMON

Commit 28d49e171676afb7df7f47798391364af9abed7f suggested

depends on BAR || !BAR

but

depends on BAR || BAR=n

works equivalently.

At least from a build perspective it is optional

Thanks for the information.

I'll let Kalle decide if he wants to change this in 'pending' to:
depends on QCOM_RPROC_COMMON || !QCOM_RPROC_COMMON

You need to make a decision from a run-time perspective
(that is, whether you are fine with having
ar_snoc->notifier == NULL)


If you are able to build the kernel successfully
but you get a run-time error (e.g. NULL pointer dereference),
it is even worse because run-time debugging is generally more
difficult than compile-time debugging.

The current patch maintains the existing logic, so that is my preference.
