> Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Intel MEI Kconfig cleanups > > Hi, > > this enables GPU firmware updates on Intel dGPUs plugged into non-x86 > machines. The most important patches are the first and last. > > The second patch switches the ME interfaces for GPUs to use !=n tests, so > it is possible for them to be builtins when the GPU drivers themselves are > modules (as is likely).

Usually module is enough, but there are some embedded systems that requires it as early as possible. > - is the strong dependency desired because if the code is compiled as > built-in, it will not be used until the module is loaded? > > There is no strong functional dependency here, no symbol references, as > these devices are enumerated over an auxiliary bus. > > Also, enable building without the GPU drivers for compile testing. > > No stable backport. > > Simon Series looks reasonable to me now.
