Most cpu driver in soc/fsl has use the function 'imx_pcm_dma_init' which is
defined in imx-pcm-dma.c, so need to select SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA, but it
depends
on SND_IMX_SOC, if SND_IMX_SOC=n, then SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA will not be
selected.
So remove the dependence of SND_IMX_SOC for SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA.

Those if conditions where just added[1] by Arnd to avoid other build
failures. So just removing them again makes little sense.

As far as I can see imx_pcm_dma_init() should be stubbed out when
SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA is not selected. So what's going on here?

Lars-Peter Clausen & Arnd

The purpose of Arnd's patch is same with me, which is to resolve the build
error when SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA=m & SND_SOC_FSL_SSI/SAI/ESAI/SPDIF=y, the
error is "undefined reference to `imx_pcm_dma_init'".
But Arnd's patch didn't involve this situation that SND_IMX_SOC=n &
SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA=m.

Having SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA selected if SND_IMX_SOC is not selected makes no
sense. I think the proper fix is to find out why it is selected and make
sure that it is not selected when SND_IMX_SOC is not selected.


I guess the issue happens if SND_SOC_FSL_ASOC_CARD=m and SND_SOC_FSL_{ESAI,SAI,SSI}=y. In this case the fix is simply to drop the select SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_DMA from SND_SOC_FSL_ASOC_CARD.
