Well, we can of course always compile SMBus support in, i.e. make CONFIG_SFP
depend on CONFIG_MDIO_SMBUS,
this is already done for the I2C equivalent and this is where we started:
config SFP
tristate "SFP cage support"
depends on I2C && PHYLINK
depends on HWMON || HWMON=n
select MDIO_I2C
+ select CONFIG_MDIO_SMBUS
But if we do not want to do that then #ifdefs are the only solution to prevent
compiler errors
due to missing symbols. There is no need to do anything in a dts BTW. The code
is already
auto-configuring, it first tries I2C which is more powerful and then
falls back to SMBus before it gives up.
Cheers,
Birger
