Thanks, Randy, I reproduced this problem on v7.1 in an x86_64 build
with the config-r1495.gz you posted at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/b99bef0f-7694-4aff-949e-d289d8ddb10e@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Per MAINTAINERS, drivers/pci/controller/cadence/ is orphaned. If
anybody cares about this, please take a look and fix this issue.


Hi,

I have posted the fix at:

Hi all,

Changes since 20260729:


(1) /usr/bin/ld.bfd: drivers/pci/controller/cadence/pcie-cadence-plat.o: in function `cdns_plat_pcie_probe':
pcie-cadence-plat.c:(.text+0x2f8): undefined reference to `cdns_pcie_ep_setup'

In this case, a builtin driver attempts to call into a loadable module:

#
# Cadence-based PCIe controllers
#
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE=y
# CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_DEBUGFS is not set
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_HOST=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_EP=m
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_HOST=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_EP=m
# end of Cadence-based PCIe controllers

I was unable to reproduce this issue, so I didn't do anything. I
didn't figure out how to make CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_EP=m; the config I
used was:

CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE=y
# CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_DEBUGFS is not set
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_HOST=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_EP=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_HOST=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_EP=m

(2) /usr/bin/ld.bfd: drivers/pci/controller/cadence/pcie-cadence-plat.o: in function `cdns_plat_pcie_probe':
pcie-cadence-plat.c:(.text+0x11f): undefined reference to `cdns_pcie_host_setup'


This is similar, just a different driver is =m in the failure case.

#
# Cadence-based PCIe controllers
#
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_HOST=m
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_EP=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT=y
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_HOST=m
CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_EP=y

I have reproduced it several times in cases that were
generated by 'make randconfig'.
I am attaching the 2 failing randconfig files (both for x86_64
and linux-next).
