    drivers: gpu: drm: virtio: fix dependency of DRM_VIRTIO_GPU on VIRTIO · 2077ec34
    Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult authored
    VIRTIO itself has no dependencies and therefore can easily be just
    select'ed, instead of depending on it. The current depends on causes
    any others trying to select VIRTIO to fail like this:
    
       drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74:error: recursive dependency detected!
       drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74:	symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_VIRTIO_GPU
       drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/Kconfig:2:	symbol DRM_VIRTIO_GPU depends on VIRTIO
       drivers/virtio/Kconfig:2:	symbol VIRTIO is selected by GPIO_VIRTIO
       drivers/gpio/Kconfig:1618:	symbol GPIO_VIRTIO depends on GPIOLIB
       drivers/gpio/Kconfig:14:	symbol GPIOLIB is selected by I2C_MUX_LTC4306
       drivers/i2c/muxes/Kconfig:47:	symbol I2C_MUX_LTC4306 depends on I2C
       drivers/i2c/Kconfig:8:	symbol I2C is selected by FB_DDC
       drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:63:	symbol FB_DDC depends on FB
       drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12:	symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER
       drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80:	symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER
    
    It seems that having both 'depends on' as well as 'select' on the same symbol
    sends us into big trouble, and Kconfig can't break up the circular dependency
    (note that in the tested configuration, neither I2C, FB or DRM are enabled at
    all). Perhaps we could consider this a bug in Kconfig, but the trouble can
    easily be circumvented by changing 'depends on' into 'select'.
    
    DRM_VIRTIO_GPU also depends on VIRTIO_MENU, so even after this change, that
    option will only show up if the user already enabled virtio in the config.
    
    This change didn't cause any changes in the .config after menuconfig run,
    so we should be completely safe here.
