[PATCH v9 1/2] platform/arm64: build drivers even on non-ARM64 platforms
Posted by Dmitry Baryshkov 1 year, 5 months ago
The Kconfig for platforms/arm64 has 'depends on ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST'.
However due to Makefile having just obj-$(CONFIG_ARM64) the subdir will
not be descended for !ARM64 platforms and thus the drivers won't get
built. This breaks modular builds of other driver drivers which depend
on arm64 platform drivers.

I made a second ib tag with this patch.

I'm a bit disappointed that LKP didn't catch this in the patch stage, it 
feels almost as if it never built any of the versions.

Thank you!

Yes, I had this feeling for several other patchsets. We started getting
build errors, despite having the patch on the maling list for quite a
while. I've just got the modpost build error for drm/msm driver, for the
patchset that was on the ML for weeks.
