You are correct. What a blunder.

Hi,

You were right, of course. There is no config SCSI_QLA_FC nor TCM_QLA2XXX in my .config.

$ grep config drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/Kconfig
config SCSI_QLA_FC
config TCM_QLA2XXX
config TCM_QLA2XXX_DEBUG
$ grep -E '(SCSI_QLA_FC|TCM_QLA2XXX)' .config
$ 

From what kernel robot produced, it is obvious that this should be done by something with deeper
knowledge of the driver's implementation.

Even when decreasing all those BUG_BUILD_ON() checks would be trivial, there are obviously more
gotchas.

Maybe "make allyesconfig" would spare me from such stupid errors.

But they say that a fail that makes you humble is better than a success that makes you arrogant :-/

Best regards,
