Good question. This driver already gets the REGMAP dependency through it's parent (MFD_PM8XXX), which does 'select REGMAP'. I recall there being some history as to why individual drivers shouldn't explicitly depend on REGMAP, as it's the parent drivers/subsystem responsibility to select it when needed, however I can't recall details. Perhaps it's due to REGMAP not being a user-selectable option. (FWIW, I did force a build of this driver with !REGMAP, and it builds just fine with the regmap_write()/_read() stubs, but of course it wouldn't do anything meaningful at runtime) Thanks, Josh -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
