The MAX9286 has not explicitly declared a dependency upon VIDEO_V4L2.
While this dependency has likely always been met by configurations
including it, the device does use V4L2 core, and should depend upon it.

Add VIDEO_V4L2 as a dependency to match other drivers and prevent
failures when compile testing.

A bit of an RFC almost, as I haven't seen any failure on this, however
this does stand out as different to other drivers, and the recent
"max96712: Select VIDEO_V4L2" posting has shown that these deserialiser
drivers could find themselves being compile tested in a manner which
would other wise break.

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for your work.

I think the new 'depends on' shall be on a separate line. Reading this 
is confusing as now the V4L2 is mixed with I2C while GPIO is still on a 
separate line.

Indeed, I'm happy to put it on a new line too, but so very many of the
other users of VIDEO_V4L2 and I2C here in media/i2c/Kconfig use
  depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C

So the difference is having the I2C_MUX ...

There are only two other 'patterns' that have also added directly to the
end of that:


drivers/media/i2c/Kconfig:      depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C && I2C_MUX
drivers/media/i2c/Kconfig:      depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C && GPIOLIB
drivers/media/platform/Kconfig: depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C && PM

(Where the I2C_MUX is MAX9286) but it's not a very strong pattern, so
splitting is still fine with me.

I2C_MUX already depends on I2C, so you can drop the latter dependency.

I would put it on a single line.

Unless you start adding COMPILE_TEST support, and the dependencies
can be split in hard (needed to build) and soft (needed to run)
dependencies.

Good point. But I'll leave it, as I'm not going to change that line now

v2 sent with a single line. No point overthinking this at this stage ;-)
