You have bad luck, I'm afraid. Sure, most users do not unset I2C_HELPER_AUTO, so they will not see the extra entries in the main I2C menu, however _I_ unset it and guess what, _I_ am the one deciding whether your patch can be applied or not ;) I don't want the algo drivers listed in the main I2C menu, sorry. It is much clearer the way it is now. > > Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@...e.cz> > --- > > Please consider for 2.6.36, as the warning is caused by a kconfig fix > that I'm about to send to Linus for 2.6.36. And it is triggered by a > simple 'make defconfig' in i386/x84_64: You should reconsider then. Kernel 2.6.36 will be released in a few days, is your fix so important that it has to go in, even when you have evidence that it breaks other parts of the configuration, which in turn will have to be fixed? It would help if you could explain in detail what your fix is doing and why it is urgently needed (if it really is.) I borrowed the idea of I2C_HELPER_AUTO from CONFIG_VIDEO_HELPER_CHIPS_AUTO, so that part will break too, and these are a lot more configuration options and drivers. Also look at I2C_SMBUS, I presume it needs a fix too if selecting undeclared symbols is no longer allowed. > $ make defconfig > *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig' > warning: (IEEE1394_PCILYNX && (PCI || BROKEN) && PCI && IEEE1394 && I2C || SFC && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_10000 && PCI && INET || I2C_VIA && I2C && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL || I2C_HYDRA && I2C && PCI && PPC_CHRP && EXPERIMENTAL || I2C_GPIO && I2C && GENERIC_GPIO || I2C_IXP2000 && I2C && ARCH_IXP2000 || I2C_SIMTEC && I2C || I2C_VERSATILE && I2C && (ARCH_VERSATILE || ARCH_REALVIEW || ARCH_VEXPRESS) || I2C_PARPORT && I2C && PARPORT || I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT && I2C || I2C_ACORN && I2C && ARCH_ACORN || SCx200_I2C && I2C && SCx200_GPIO || VIDEO_BT848 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C && VIDEO_V4L2 && INPUT && VIDEO_IR || VIDEO_CX88 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && VIDEO_V4L2 && VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C && INPUT && VIDEO_IR || VIDEO_CX23885 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && VIDEO_V4L2 && DVB_CORE && VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C && INPUT && IR_CORE || VIDEO_AU0828 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && I2C && INPUT && DVB_CORE && USB && VI > DEO_V4L2 || VIDEO_IVTV && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && VIDEO_V4L2 && PCI && I2C && INPUT && VIDEO_IR || VIDEO_CX18 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && VIDEO_V4L2 && DVB_CORE && PCI && I2C && EXPERIMENTAL && INPUT && VIDEO_IR || VIDEO_SAA7164 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && VIDEO_V4L2 && DVB_CORE && PCI && I2C || DVB_PLUTO2 && MEDIA_SUPPORT && DVB_CAPTURE_DRIVERS && DVB_CORE && PCI && I2C || DRM && HAS_IOMEM && (AGP || AGP=n) && !EMULATED_CMPXCHG && MMU || FB_DDC && HAS_IOMEM && FB || FB_VIA && HAS_IOMEM && FB && PCI && X86 || VIDEO_CX25821 && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && DVB_CORE && VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C && INPUT) selects I2C_ALGOBIT which has unmet direct dependencies (I2C && !I2C_HELPER_AUTO) > [...] This message is obscure.
