Add GPIOLIB dependency for MMC_SDHCI.

Problem was observed after adding the patch
"mmc: sdhci-of-arasan: Call OF parsing for MMC"
(sha1: 16b23787fc709fe60c5d2bd05927b1a3da33d4e9) which calls
mmc_of_parse() -> mmc_gpiod_request_cd() (slot-gpio.c) which
calls devm_gpiod_get_index() which returns -ENOSYS.

Error log:
sdhci-arasan ff160000.sdhci: parsing dt failed (4294967258)
sdhci-arasan: probe of ff160000.sdhci failed with error -38

kbuild test robot reports a warning for this one, so I am dropping it
from my next branch.

-----
warning: (AKEBONO) selects MMC_SDHCI which has unmet direct
dependencies (MMC && HAS_DMA && GPIOLIB)
https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-August/011824.html
-----

Perhaps we should just live with this kind of configuration problems
as this patch is trying to fix?
Looking into drivers in general I don't think we normally specify all
the Kconfig dependencies to be able to meet a successfully probe().
The GPIOLIB is just one thing out of many.

Or you have a better idea? :-)

Kind regards

I think is just better to fix the problem there instead of dropping this
patch which fix GPIO dependency.

Fix is quite easy.

It's getting really late for 4.3 so I would rather postpone this to
the next release cycle.

As I stated in my earlier reply, do we really want to add the GPIOLIB
dependency to the Kconfig file for SDHCI?
I assume we have lots of other Kconfig dependencies, then these should
also to be added for the same reasons. I doubt this is the right thing
to do.

How about if the mmc core instead treat GPIOs as optional from an API
point of view and thus it won't cause ->probe() to fail. Is that a way
forward for you?

Kind regards
Uffe

No problem at all. :-)

Is it the right solution not to list them if they are there?

In my test case I am not using GPIO at all and probe is failing. If this
is fixed because it is probably common setting for others we don't need
to list this dependency.
But really for my case and I am not using gpio at all probe just failed
which is incorrect and should be fixed.

Thanks,
Michal

Well, I don't think there are *one* answer to this.

Still, the reason to why we have API implementing stubs when used is
to manage these cases.

Thanks for clarifying. In this regard I think it's pretty obvious that
we need to make GPIO optional.
Else we will force the footprint to increase for the kernel image,
even when not needed.

Typically checking for -ENOSYS from the response from the GPIOLIB
would do the trick. That's actually what we do already for GPIOs in
mmc pwrseq simple case.

Do you want to send another patch?

Kind regards

right. Footprint is valid argument.

I didn't parse the gpio code to be 100% sure that this is enough. Also
if this will cover all cases which we can have. Depends on gpio error
code consistency.

I would love to but I am quite occupied right now but I am happy to test
on our SoC when we have right fix for it.

Thanks,
