There are some some recursive dependency issues one can run into
when a kconfig option is selected by a driver, and then kconfig
has to figure out whether or not some dependencies are valid for
that selected option. For instance in terms of simplifying the
logic issue a best as possible on my part and its implications:
If a driver selects FW_LOADER but also has a few other selects,
kconfig will not allow another driver which also selects FW_LOADER
to negate dependency on what that original driver's extra
dependencies were.
This was recenlty discovered while working on extensions to the
firmware_class module with some code being developed [0] to make
firmware_class APIs extensible.
A possible fix to this is to change a "select FW_LOADER" to
"depends FW_LOADER". If we're going to do that we would first
need to evaluate if the recursive dependency issue is real or
not, and if it is not we should do a tree wide change from
all "select FW_LOADER" to "depend FW_LOADER".
Upon review with Paul, the recursive dependency issue is actually
real mostly because of the complexity of the amount of symbols
we handle and how we ended up deciding in logic for "select" and
"depends on" to work [1].
Paul did some git archaeological analysis of previous trends on
gramatically similar reported recursive issues and found that
the generic solution to such problems were to convert "select FOO"
to "depends on FOO". This was based on a study of 20 commits with
similar reported recursive issue reported since v2.6.36 [2].
Paul also found commit d9b19199e489 ("always enable FW_LOADER unless
EMBEDDED=y") which explains that we can then get rid of all
"select FW_LOADER" [...] and as per Paul it seems the plan to get rid
of those never materialized [2].
Paul also insists that *there is no reason* to think that current logic
of the kconfig tools, as it is currently implemented, is flawed [2].
The above history is just *one* set of reasons to remove all kernel
"select FW_LOADER" entries. Another simple reason is that since
FW_LOADER can only be disabled by an EXPERT and it defaults to y
its now a superfluous select. We will ensure things build for you
if using EXPERT but if you have selected EXPERT you should know
what run time requirements you need.
This goes build tested with an allyesconfig and allmodconfig
configuration and then disabling FW_LOADER on each build target.
This was tested on linux-next tag next-20150518.
Should this require rebasing you can regenerate the target
patches with:
for i in $(git grep "select FW_LOADER$" | \
awk -F":" '{print $1}' | sort | uniq); do \
perl -i -ne 'print if !/select FW_LOADER$/' $i; done

I realize tree-wide changes are not encourated like this, but
I am doing this as an RFC first to save a few electrons to
spare sending out 21 separate e-mails and separate reviews
and discussions on one topic alone, should there be any. If
this seems reasonable please send me your respective Acked-by's,
and I can split up into 21 patches by subsystem:

staging

uwb
