[PATCH] platform/mellanox: MLXREG_DPU depends on I2C

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Thu May 01 2025 - 20:16:31 EST


WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for REGMAP_I2C
Depends on [m]: I2C [=m]
Selected by [y]:
- MLXREG_DPU [=y] && MELLANOX_PLATFORM [=y]

Without the dependency, REGMAP_I2C=y since MLXREG_DPU=y.
Since CONFIG_I2C=m, this causes many (> 230) unmet dependency warnings.
E.g.:
Selected by [m]:
- EEPROM_AT24 [=m] && I2C [=m] && SYSFS [=y]
- SERIAL_MAX310X [=m] && TTY [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && SPI_MASTER [=y] && I2C [=m]
- PINCTRL_AW9523 [=m] && PINCTRL [=y] && OF [=y] && I2C [=m]
- PINCTRL_CY8C95X0 [=m] && PINCTRL [=y] && I2C [=m]
- GPIO_FXL6408 [=m] && GPIOLIB [=y] && I2C [=m]
- GPIO_DS4520 [=m] && GPIOLIB [=y] && I2C [=m]
- GPIO_PCA953X [=m] && GPIOLIB [=y] && I2C [=m]
- IP5XXX_POWER [=m] && POWER_SUPPLY [=y] && I2C [=m]
- BATTERY_CW2015 [=m] && POWER_SUPPLY [=y] && I2C [=m]
- CHARGER_SBS [=m] && POWER_SUPPLY [=y] && I2C [=m]
