Subject: [patch] video: build fix for drivers/media/video/pvrusb2/


x86.git testing found the following build failure:

  drivers/built-in.o: In function `pvr2_dvb_feed_thread':
  pvrusb2-dvb.c:(.text+0x127e78): undefined reference to `dvb_dmx_swfilter'
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `pvr2_dvb_adapter_exit':
  pvrusb2-dvb.c:(.text+0x128357): undefined reference to `dvb_net_release'
  pvrusb2-dvb.c:(.text+0x12836f): undefined reference to `dvb_dmxdev_release'
  [...]

with this config:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Sun_May_11_07_06_35_CEST_2008.bad

the reason for the missing symbols is this combination:

  CONFIG_VIDEO_PVRUSB2=y
  CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m

i.e. pvrusb2 is built-in, dvb-core is modular.

This patch solves the problem by adding a dependency on DVB_CORE - this 
is used by other drivers such as au0828 as well. This way the pvrusb2 
driver can still be built, but if dvb-core is a module then it will 
correctly be a module as well and cannot be built-in.
