Revision b9670ca20abcdd1587c15f8cf2d39edce5d2f37d authored by Arnd Bergmann on 21 July 2017, 21:12:06 UTC, committed by Mark Yao on 24 July 2017, 01:53:09 UTC
A bug that I had fixed earlier just came back, with CONFIG_EXTCON=m,
the rockchip drm driver will fail to link:

drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/cdn-dp-core.o: In function `cdn_dp_get_port_lanes':
cdn-dp-core.c:(.text.cdn_dp_get_port_lanes+0x30): undefined reference to `extcon_get_state'
cdn-dp-core.c:(.text.cdn_dp_get_port_lanes+0x6c): undefined reference to `extcon_get_property'
drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/cdn-dp-core.o: In function `cdn_dp_check_sink_connection':
cdn-dp-core.c:(.text.cdn_dp_check_sink_connection+0x80): undefined reference to `extcon_get_state'
drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/cdn-dp-core.o: In function `cdn_dp_enable':
cdn-dp-core.c:(.text.cdn_dp_enable+0x748): undefined reference to `extcon_get_property'

The problem is that that the sub-drivers are now all linked into the
main rockchip drm module, which breaks all the Kconfig dependencies
that are specified in the options for those sub-drivers.

This clarifies the dependency to ensure that we can only turn on the DP
driver when EXTCON is reachable. As the 'select' statements can now
cause additional options to become built-in when they should be
loadable modules, I'm moving those into the main driver config option.
The dependency on DRM_ROCKCHIP can be reduced into a single 'if'
statement here for brevity, but this has no functional effect.

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
