Lots of drivers select FW_LOADER without bothering to depend on HOTPLUG and/or without selecting HOTPLUG. A kernel builds fine when FW_LOADER is enabled, whether HOTPLUG is enabled or not, and a kernel config file (make oldconfig) is not changed by this patch. (Yes, drivers/base/firmware_class.c uses interfaces from linux/kobject.h, which does have some CONFIG_HOTPLUG dependencies, but this patch does not change that.) warning: (MICROCODE || MICROCODE_INTEL && MICROCODE || MICROCODE_AMD && MICROCODE || PCMCIA_LOAD_CIS && PCCARD && PCMCIA && EXPERIMENTAL || USB_IRDA && NET && IRDA && USB || BT_HCIBCM203X && NET && BT && USB || BT_HCIBFUSB && NET && BT && USB || BT_HCIBT3C && NET && BT && PCMCIA || BT_MRVL_SDIO && NET ... !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && USB && (X86 || ARM) && WLAN || DRM_NOUVEAU && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && DRM && PCI || TI_ST && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && RFKILL || DELL_RBU && X86) selects FW_LOADER which has unmet direct dependencies (HOTPLUG) (5200 byte line reduced a lot) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/base/Kconfig | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/base/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/base/Kconfig @@ -71,7 +71,6 @@ config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD config FW_LOADER tristate "Userspace firmware loading support" if EMBEDDED - depends on HOTPLUG default y ---help--- This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules
