Subject: [PATCH 1/2] stmmac: fix pcs_lynx link failure
Date: Wed,  7 Jun 2023 15:56:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230607135638.1341101-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The mdio code in stmmac now directly links into both the lynx_pcs and
the xpcs device drivers, but the lynx_pcs dependency is only enforced
for the altera variant of stmmac, which is the one that actually uses it.

Building stmmac for a non-altera platform therefore causes a link
failure:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_mdio.o: in function `stmmac_mdio_unregister':
stmmac_mdio.c:(.text+0x1418): undefined reference to `lynx_pcs_destroy'

I've tried to come up with a patch that moves this dependency back into
the dwmac-socfpga.c file, but there was no easy and obvious way to
do this. It also seems that this would not be a proper solution, but
instead there should be a real abstraction for pcs drivers that lets
device drivers handle this transparently.

As the lynx_pcs driver is tiny, it appears that we can just avoid the
link error by always forcing it to be built when the stmmac driver
is, even for non-altera platforms. This matches what we already do
for the xpcs variant that is used by the intel and tegra variants of
stmmac.
