(resending this email as I got a few rejects from mailing lists when I accidentally had an invalid email address for Mike) On Tuesday 12 March 2013, Haojian Zhuang wrote: > of_find_matching_node() & of_device_is_available() are depend on CONFIG_OF > macro.

The problem is really that the declarations are also hidden behind an #ifdef. I think we should change the linux/of.h header file to either provide alternative empty inline functions or at least leave the declarations visible so we can compile the code as long as the call gets discarded. > > +#ifdef CONFIG_OF > static struct device_node *from = NULL; > > static struct of_device_id sp804_timer_match[] __initdata = { > @@ -294,3 +295,4 @@ err: > iounmap(base); > } > CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE(sp804, "arm,sp804", sp804_dt_init); > +#endif There is actually an empty definition for CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE(), but I think it would be better to still define it the same way as with CONFIG_OF enabled but attribute((__unused__)), like: #ifdef CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF extern void clocksource_of_init(void); #define CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE(name, compat, fn) \ static const struct of_device_id __clksrc_of_table_##name \ __used __section(__clksrc_of_table) \ = { .compatible = compat, .data = fn }; #else static inline void clocksource_of_init(void) {} #define CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE(name, compat, fn) \ static const struct of_device_id __clksrc_of_table_##name \ __unused = { .compatible = compat, .data = fn }; #endif This way, all the code still gets built, but since there is nothing pointing to __clksrc_of_table_##name and it is marked __unused, it gets dropped along with all other symbols that are only referenced from it.

We don't need to define CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() for non-DT mode, and we also don't need to define of_device_is_available(), ... in non-DT mode. We only need to add "depends on USE_OF" for CLKSRC_OF configuration. It's simpler. What's your opinion? Regards Haojian

Also I think 'depends on' is much better than 'select', because it has fewer side-effects. Right now, CLKSRC_OF is only selected by platforms that also select USE_OF on ARM, which seems appropriate for now, but if we want to make CLKSRC_OF a generally visible option, it should use 'depends on OF'. What I don't understand is how that relates to my comment on your code. My goal was to support drivers that can contain all the code needed for CLKSRC_OF without any #ifdef but that still work if CONFIG_OF and CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF are both disabled. Arnd

of_find_matching_node() & of_device_is_available() are depend on CONFIG_OF macro. If CONFIG_OF isn't defined for non-DT mode, the build error occurs. So add CONFIG_OF for those DT functions.
