[PATCH] arm64: Kconfig.platforms: remove useless select for ARCH_K3
Posted by Guillaume La Roque 9 months, 1 week ago 
After patch done on TI_MESSAGE_MANAGER[1] and TI_SCI_PROTOCOL[2] driver

Remove it and give possibility to enable this driver in modules.

While at this, is it possible to remove MAILBOX and PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS
from select and make them as modules?

Hi Nishanth,

if i remove MAILBOX it's  enabled by some  non TI drivers and/or 
ARCH_XXX which have it in deps so all TI drivers are still enabled 
properly but not sure it's safe.
and PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS look OK to remove it.

if i try a defconfig based on android defconfig (more simple than 
default defconfig) with only ARCH_K3 enabled i need to set 
CONFIG_MAILBOX flag to still have same TI drivers enabled.
let me know what you want to do.

Guillaume

Let us drop both from the select statement - from our K3 perspective
there is no longer a need for them to be built-in. Thank you for working
through this.
