(caused by a one-line patch to scsi/mpt2sas/Kconfig:
	select RAID_ATTRS
)


When CONFIG_SCSI=m, CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS can still be =y, causing build errors
like:

ERROR: "raid_class_release" [drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "raid_class_attach" [drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas.ko] undefined!

drivers/scsi/built-in.o does contain raid_class_* code (according to 'nm'),
but drivers/built-in.o does not, so I guess that drivers/Makefile:

obj-$(CONFIG_SCSI)		+= scsi/

is preventing drivers/scsi/built-in.o from being added to drivers/built-in.o.

We can:

a/  change drivers/Makefile to say:

obj-y				+= scsi/

(test: that still had a build error:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `raid_match':
raid_class.c:(.text+0x9de7c): undefined reference to `scsi_is_sdev_device'
)

b/  change drivers/scsi/Kconfig to make RAID_ATTRS depend on SCSI, so that raid_class
would be built as a module

That one does work.


Do something else?
Preferences?
