[PATCH] clk: aspeed: ast2700: select AUXILIARY_BUS

From: Karl Mehltretter

Date: Sun Jul 12 2026 - 12:04:36 EST


The AST2700 clock driver also exposes the SoC reset controller: it hands
its register base to a reset auxiliary device via
devm_auxiliary_device_create(), which the separate ASPEED reset driver
(RESET_ASPEED) then binds to. That create call needs the auxiliary bus
core (AUXILIARY_BUS), not the reset driver itself, but COMMON_CLK_AST2700
does not select AUXILIARY_BUS.

It builds today only because RESET_ASPEED selects AUXILIARY_BUS and is
normally enabled alongside the clock driver. On a randconfig with
COMMON_CLK_AST2700=y and RESET_ASPEED=n, nothing pulls the auxiliary bus
in and the kernel fails to link:

ld: drivers/clk/aspeed/clk-ast2700.o: in function `ast2700_soc_clk_probe':
clk-ast2700.c:(.text+0x147c): undefined reference to `__devm_auxiliary_device_create'

Select AUXILIARY_BUS directly, as other clock drivers that create
auxiliary devices do, so it builds regardless of the reset driver.
