Subject: [PATCH 3.16 060/306] [media] dvb-usb: avoid link error with
 dib3000m{b,c|

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit d0fe85e95f56a01a49e4893aa26263e8aee67eef upstream.

Tha ARM randconfig builds came up with another rare build failure
for the dib3000mc driver, when dvb-usb-dibusb-mb is built-in and
dib3000mc is a loadable module:

ERROR: "dibusb_dib3000mc_frontend_attach" [drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "dibusb_dib3000mc_tuner_attach" [drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2.ko] undefined!

Apparently this used to be a valid configuration (build-time, not
run-time), but broke as part of a cleanup.

I tried reverting the cleanup, but saw that the code was still wrong
then. This version adds a dependency for dib3000mb, to ensure that
dib3000mb does not force the dibusb_dib3000mc_frontend_attach function
to be built-in when dib3000mc is a loadable module.

I have also checked the two other files that were changed in the original
cleanup, and found them to be correct in either version, so I do not
touch that part.

As this is a rather obscure bug, there is no need for backports.
