Hi Randy,

(adding a few people to the CC list to discuss the proposed solution
below)

Thanks for the report.

If this isn't allowed, then we need to fix this where used, as that's
what seems to cause the recursive dependency. Would the following
patches be acceptable in your opinion ? If so I'll submit them proper.

    treewide: kconfig: Replace 'select' DMAENGINES 'with depends on'
    
    Enabling a whole subsystem from a single driver 'select' is frowned
    upon and won't be accepted in new drivers, that need to use 'depends on'
    instead. Existing selection of DMAENGINES will then cause circular
    dependencies. Replace them with a dependency.

    drm: xlnx: dpsub: Fix DMADEVICES Kconfig dependency

    The dpsub driver uses the DMA engine API, and thus selects DMA_ENGINE to
    provide that API. DMA_ENGINE depends on DMADEVICES, which can be
    deselected by the user, creating a possibly unmet indirect dependency:

    WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DMA_ENGINE
      Depends on [n]: DMADEVICES [=n]
      Selected by [m]:
      - DRM_ZYNQMP_DPSUB [=m] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && (ARCH_ZYNQMP || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && COMMON_CLK [=y] && DRM [=m] && OF [=y]

    Add a dependency on DMADEVICES to fix this.
