Well this was a mess to figure out.

The only fix I can figure out here is to remove the

     depends on LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR || !LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR

from each child device and add

     select LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR

to the LP55XX_COMMON

This way the Multi color framework will inherit the symbol that was set by the COMMON flag which is inherited by majority from the child flags.

Did you try this?

Yes I did

That gave unmet dependencies.

When I was testing that yesterday I also had the same warning at some
point of testing different Kconfig setups, but with what I showed above
it ceased to appear. Now every time I am doing "make oldconfig" the
CONFIG_LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON=y entry gets changed to =m with the config
from the test bot.

That is not what I saw in my testing especially after doing a distclean

Could you please give your exact steps after "make distclean" and
copying test bot config to the kernel root directory?

Also, please share the toolchain you're using for tests.

Actually at this stage the toolchain is of lesser relevance.

I've tried once more and indeed the problem shows up.

It is caused by the driver entries doing

"select LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON".

Select sets config to "y" so it conflicts with
"depends on LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR || !LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR"
in the "config LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON".

Your proposed fix will block the possibility of building
LED_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR as a module when LP55XX drivers
are enabled so this is also not an option.

Solving this riddle will require some more thinking.
I haven't analyzed it in detail but maybe "imply" statement from
kconfig-language.rst could help somehow here.

The multicolor framework will build as a module if the LED_CLASS is defined as a module.

See attached test_defconfig

But it will be impossible to enable CONFIG_LEDS_LP50XX without
CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR if you will remove

depends on LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR || !LEDS_CLASS_MULTI_COLOR.

I was not removing the dependency for the LP50xx only the LP55xx.

It was my typo, I meant LP55XX.


This is actually why the above entry was needed.

LP55XX drivers have to work also without multicolor class.

Well I am not sure how else to resolve this problem.  Because the LP55xx has multi level dependencies.

Only the LP55xx_common has the dependency on the MC framework. The device drivers do not.

The issue is the mixing and matching of the MC fw as a module vs the LP55XX_COMMON as a built-in.

The simplest solution is to avoid selecting LP55XX_COMMON in favor
of making child drivers depending on it. Of course, maybe there exists
some trickier option to keep the selection, but I would have to play
a bit more with it to be sure.
