    nvmem: disallow modular CONFIG_NVMEM · 2a37ce25
    Arnd Bergmann 提交于
    The new of_get_nvmem_mac_address() helper function causes a link error
    with CONFIG_NVMEM=m:
    
    drivers/of/of_net.o: In function `of_get_nvmem_mac_address':
    of_net.c:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to `of_nvmem_cell_get'
    of_net.c:(.text+0x19c): undefined reference to `nvmem_cell_read'
    of_net.c:(.text+0x1a8): undefined reference to `nvmem_cell_put'
    
    I could not come up with a good solution for this, as the code is always
    built-in. Using an #if IS_REACHABLE() check around it would solve the
    link time issue but then stop it from working in that configuration.
    Making of_nvmem_cell_get() an inline function could also solve that, but
    seems a bit ugly since it's somewhat larger than most inline functions,
    and it would just bring that problem into the callers.  Splitting the
    function into a separate file might be an alternative.
    
    This uses the big hammer by making CONFIG_NVMEM itself a 'bool' symbol,
    which avoids the problem entirely but makes the vmlinux larger for anyone
    that might use NVMEM support but doesn't need it built-in otherwise.
