Splitting stk1160-ac97 as a module (Re: linux-next: Tree for May 1 (media/usb/stk1160))
Hi Mauro, On Thu, May 02, 2013 at 11:52:33AM -0300, Mauro Carvalho Chehab wrote: is unreliable (doesn't do what some people expect) when SND=m and SND_AC97_CODEC=m, since VIDEO_STK1160_AC97 is a bool. Using select is always tricky. I can see a few possible fixes for it: 1) split the alsa part into a separate module. IMHO, this is cleaner, but requires a little more work. I'm trying to split the ac97 support into a separate module. So far I've managed to do this with two different approaches, but both of them are broken in some way :-( Couple questions: 1. Is it possible to force two symbols to be both built-in (=y) or both modules (=m)? This would make one of my solutions work. 2. Do you think it's possible to split this as a module *without* requesting the driver dynamically? I've tried the same extensions approach as in em28xx and others, but found some problems with the way snd-usb-audio driver registers.

If they are always the same value, there is no need to have two symbols in the first place. However, given the original problem from this thread, if what you meant was to have the second symbol either 'n' or the same as the first symbol, ie. the following table: A: n m m y y B: n n m n y Then the closest I came up with is: config MODULES bool Modules config A tristate A config B_dummy bool B depends on A config B tristate default m if A=m B_dummy default y if A=y B_dummy where B_dummy is not used outside of Kconfig, and only A and B are the symbols of interest (eg. to build the drivers). Otherwise, I was not able to get the desired behviour with only the A and B symbols. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-..--.. | Yann E.
