Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: work around reverse dependency on MEI
Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2021 13:54:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211207125430.2423871-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
If the iwlmei code is a loadable module, the main iwlwifi driver
cannot be built-in:
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.o: in function `iwl_pcie_prepare_card_hw':
trans.c:(.text+0x4158): undefined reference to `iwl_mei_is_connected'
Unfortunately, Kconfig enforces the opposite, forcing the MEI driver to
not be built-in if iwlwifi is a module.
There is no easy way to express the correct dependency in Kconfig,
this is the best workaround I could come up with, turning CONFIG_IWLMEI
into a 'bool' symbol, and spelling out the exact conditions under which
it may be enabled, and then using Makefile logic to ensure it is
built-in when iwlwifi is.
A better option would be change iwl_mei_is_connected() so it could be
called from iwlwifi regardless of whether the mei driver is reachable,
but that requires a larger rework in the driver.
