Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pinctrl: stmfx: fix mfd dependency
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 09:17:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312081805.3020612-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The PINCTRL_STMFX driver attempts to force-enable its MFD parent
driver, which is really the wrong way around compared to general
conventions. After the OF_GPIO dependency got dropped, this leads
to a harmless but annoying build warning:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for MFD_STMFX
Depends on [n]: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && I2C [=y] && OF [=n]
Selected by [m]:
- PINCTRL_STMFX [=m] && PINCTRL [=y] && I2C [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y]
Change the 'select' into a dependency instead. As this changes the
defconfig behavior, also change the generic arm defconfig file to enable
the other symbol instead.
Fixes: e785c990adcc ("pinctrl: Kconfig: drop unneeded dependencies on OF_GPIO")
