The build error I fixed was on yesterday's linux-next, which has the
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg106102.html patch, this is
the one I referenced as 7d7080335f8d ("scsi: lpfc: Finalize Kconfig
options for nvme").

The earlier version from linux-next-20170310 (there was no linux-next
last week) had the same bug but needed a different workaround:

   This enables NVME Target support in the Emulex lpfc driver.
   Target enablement must still be enabled on a per adapter

As a side-note, the patch introduces a slightly unusual construct
using #if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NVME_FC)). This can usually
expressed in a more readable way like this:

You could also use if(IS_REACHABLE()) here to work around
the link error when CONFIG_NVME_FC=m, but that would make
things a little more confusing for users as it is not immediately
clear why it fails to work at runtime.

one I think you referenced below

When LPFC is built-in but NVMe is a loadable module, we fail to

We can avoid this either by forcing lpfc to be a module, or by disabling
NVMe support in this case. This implements the former.
