Is this patch needed? The mxs-dma only has one user, the gpmi-nand in mx6q.
this patch makes the kernel built-in the mxs-dma, even the gpmi-nand
is not enabled.

Well, as the driver currently stands: yes, it is needed.

Without CONFIG_MXS_DMA, the GPMI driver cannot even be built.

This is why I thought that 'select MXS_DMA' was the way to go, but
according to the thread you pointed me at, it was Nacked by Shawn.

But you have added "depend on MXS_DMA". So If you do not select the
mxs-dma, you can not see the
gpmi-nand.
that's why i think this patch is not needed.

That's an issue with the 'make *config' tools. I recommend fixing those
instead; it's horrid to use 'select' on an option which *is*
user-visible, such as CONFIG_MXS_DMA.

In the mid-1990s, there was a variant of the tcl 'make xconfig' which
would *show* you the dependencies for things, and would allow you to
turn them on with a single click. Is that really so hard for us to do?

So how CONFIG_MXS_DMA would be selected if not via defconfig?

Use the make menuconfig ARCH=arm:

"device drivers"-->"DMA engine support" -->"mxs dma support"

I prefer to have selected in the defconfig by default instead.

It is not obvious for the end user that they need to manually select
this option.

mxs_defconfig also selects CONFIG_MXS_DMA.

Can't we do the same here and let imx_v6_v7_defconfig be built again?

In mx23/mx28, the mxs-dma has many users, so it's proper to make it default.

Shawn, do you have any opinion about this?

I repeat:

Most drivers should be kernel modules. mxs_dma needs changes to support
building as module.

First, I think Shawn is on holiday at the moment.

Second, recent kernel mainline from today building imx_v6_v7_defconfig 
is broken due to this.

So to make it build again, we have to enable CONFIG_MXS_DMA anyhow. As 
it seems that GPMI_NAND needs it to build, I would vote for the

depends on MXS_DMA

fix proposed by Richard

http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg186111.html

Anyhow, any chance to get the kernel mainline fixed asap?

Many thanks and best regards

Dirk

Sascha did not CC to me when he submitted the patch 3def84ed9 "ARM: 
imx_v6_v7_defconfig: ..".

I would check this patch if he CCed to me.

Building mainline 3.6-rc1 with imx_v6_v7_defconfig this is still broken 
due to

drivers/built-in.o: In function `gpmi_dma_filter':
clk-fixed-factor.c:(.text+0xab170): undefined reference to `mxs_dma_is_apbh'

Is any fix for this on its way to mainline? Either the above or any 
other one?

Best regards

Dirk

Since the gpmi has been enabled in the config file, I think it's better 
to select the mxs-dma in the config file too.
