Although commit 882164a4a928 ("ssb: Prevent build of PCI host features in

CONFIG_SSB_PCIHOST is undefined, which prevents the compilation of the code
that controls the PCI cores of the device. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572349 for details.

As the underlying errors ("pcibios_enable_device" undefined, and
"register_pci_controller" undefined) do not appear on the architectures that
I have tested (x86_64, x86, and ppc), I suspect something in the
arch-specific code for your setup (MIPS?). As I have no idea on how to fix
that problem, would the following patch work for you?

I strongly suggest we take a step back, slow down a bit and look at
the original problem.

In driver_pcicore.c there is MIPS specific code. It's protected using
#ifdef CONFIG_SSB_PCICORE_HOSTMODE
(...)
#endif

If anyone has ever seen
ERROR: "pcibios_enable_device" [drivers/ssb/ssb.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "register_pci_controller" [drivers/ssb/ssb.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:92: __modpost] Error 1
it means he managed to get CONFIG_SSB_PCICORE_HOSTMODE set on non-MIPS system.

I saw this on a MIPS system (to my knowledge, this does not happen on other arches due to the Kconfig rules you describe), which is what my original patch was attempting to fix, but appears to have caused problems on other arches.

Thanks,
Matt



We should rather answer how did that happen and fix it.

SSB_PCICORE_HOSTMODE depends on SSB_DRIVER_MIPS
SSB_DRIVER_MIPS depends on MIPS

How is that possible to set SSB_PCICORE_HOSTMODE with non-MIPS config?
Is there some mistake in Kconfig I can't see?
