SND_MPC52xx_SOC_PCM030 and SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA both select
SND_SOC_MPC5200_AC97 without ensuring its dependency on PPC_BESTCOMM is
met. This causes unmet dependencies such as:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SND_SOC_MPC5200_AC97
  Depends on [n]: SOUND [=m] && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_POWERPC_SOC [=m] && PPC_BESTCOMM [=n]
  Selected by [m]:
  - SND_MPC52xx_SOC_PCM030 [=m] && SOUND [=m] && SND [=m] && SND_SOC [=m] && SND_POWERPC_SOC [=m] && PPC_MPC5200_SIMPLE [=y]

In v1, Rosen pointed out that the import of "mpc5200_dma.h" is actually
unnecessary, and Arnd suggested that the 'select' of SND_SOC_MPC5200_AC97
be changed to 'depends on'.

This resolves all 3 unmet dependencies.

These unmet dependency bugs were detected by kconfirm, a static analysis tool
for Kconfig.

Changes since v1:
- removed the dependency on PPC_BESTCOMM
- changed existing select of SND_SOC_MPC5200_AC97 to dependency

Applied to

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-7.3

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: fix unmet dependencies on PPC_BESTCOMM and SND_SOC_AC97_BUS
      https://git.kernel.org/broonie/sound/c/72cc574aa379

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
