We should be able to select needed subsystems (such as INPUT, USB, etc) even if they are user visible. User, when enabling a piece of hardware, does not need to know ultimate details of all subsystems the driver might need ti function. It looks like one of the drivers implies MFD_INTEL_LPSS_PCI, maybe treating imply the same as select when detecting circular dependency is wrong as we are allowed to deselect implied dependencies? > > > > CC: Inki Dae > > CC: Andrzej Hajda > > Signed-off-by: Ronald Tschalär > > Reviewed-by: Lukas Wunner > > I think this needs to be merged through the input tree as a prerequisite > for the applespi.c driver (keyboard + touchpad driver for 2015+ MacBook, > MacBook Air and MacBook Pro which uses SPI instead of USB) to avoid > breaking the build. Adding Dmitry. I have no idea what applespi.c is (it is definitely not in my tree), so I think it should be merged through the same tree that the original commit was introduced through. > > Thanks, > > Lukas > > > > --- > > drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig | 2 +- > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig b/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig > > index 2fee47b0d50b..eabedc83f25c 100644 > > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig > > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig > > @@ -83,9 +83,9 @@ config DRM_PARADE_PS8622 > > config DRM_SIL_SII8620 > > tristate "Silicon Image SII8620 HDMI/MHL bridge" > > depends on OF > > + depends on INPUT > > select DRM_KMS_HELPER > > imply EXTCON > > - select INPUT > > select RC_CORE Keeping "select RC_CORE" is wrong though, as the driver appears to be working find without RC. Maybe it should be stubbed out? Thanks. -- Dmitry
