[PATCH v2] soc: qcom: ubwc: Fix link error when QCOM_SMEM=n
Posted by Daniel Baluta 1 month, 2 weeks ago 
DRM_MSM unconditionally selects QCOM_UBWC_CONFIG, which calls SMEM APIs,
causing a link error on non-Qcom platforms (e.g. SOC_IMX5):

  arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: ubwc_config.c:(.text+0x2c): undefined
      reference to 'qcom_smem_is_available'
  arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: ubwc_config.c:(.text+0x4c): undefined
      reference to 'qcom_smem_dram_get_hbb'

Relax the selection of QCOM_UBWC_CONFIG to ARCH_QCOM only and make QCOM_UBWC_CONFIG
depend on QCOM_SMEM make the requirement explicit.

Fixes: 1b445022d1d0 ("soc: qcom: ubwc: Get HBB from SMEM")
Signed-off-by: Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@nxp.com>
---
Changes since v1:
- (addressed feedback from Dmitry) replace adding static inline stubs with preparing a better config
  dependecies so that we use the qcom_smem symbols only on QCOM platforms.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/imx/sy2ulk536ryakhy6fdnqr4asvzvufqk3dlo2awdrfomulyf4n4@qtp4qoazqmhj/T/#t

This does not fully fix the issue. ARCH_QCOM=y and QCOM_SMEM=n will
still trigger the issue because select does not respect dependencies:

  $ echo CONFIG_QCOM_SMEM=n >kernel/configs/no_smem.config

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- mrproper defconfig no_smem.config all
