[Suggestion] Makefile: about allmodconfig issue.

[Chen Gang]

Hello All:

"A module selects GENERIC_IRQ_CHIP and depend on IRQ_DOMAIN". For me,
it is a reasonable selection and dependency, but "make allmodconfig"
will report error. I guess it is the "Makefile allmodconfig" issue.

The related error report:

  [root@gchen linux-next]# make ARCH=avr32 CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/bin/avr32-linux-  allmodconfig
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
    HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
    SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
    SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c

The related commit (7779b34 gpio: add a driver for the Synopsys DesignWare APB GPIO block):  

  +config GPIO_DWAPB
  +       tristate "Synopsys DesignWare APB GPIO driver"
  +       select GPIO_GENERIC
  +       select GENERIC_IRQ_CHIP
  +       depends on OF_GPIO && IRQ_DOMAIN



Welcome any suggestions, discussions and completions.

Thanks.
