kernel: modules: fix kmod-regmap redux
Jonas Gorski commented on the previous patch:
|This is actually the wrong fix and papers over an issue in one of our
|local patches.
|
|We intentionally allow regmap to be built as a module, see
|
|/target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/259-regmap_dynamic.patch
|[...]
|[The regulator code] optionally supports regmap thanks to the stubs
|provided if regmap is disabled - which breaks if you compile regmap
|as a module.
In order to mitigate this issue, this patch reverts the previous patch
and replaces the existing IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_REGMAP) with
IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_REGMAP). This solves this particular issue as the
regulator code will now automatically fallback to the regmap stubs in
case the kmod-regmap module is enabled, but nothing else sets
CONFIG_REGMAP=y.
Note: There's still a potential issue that this patch doesn't solve:
If someone ever wants to make a OpenWrt kernel package for a
regulator module that requires the REGMAP feature for a target that
doesn't set CONFIG_REGMAP=y but has CONFIG_REGULATOR=y, the resulting
kmod-regulator-xyz package will not work on the target.
Luckily, there aren't any in-tree OpenWrt kernel module packages for
regulators at the moment. On the bright side: regmap is a critical
part nowadays and all new and upcoming architectures require it by
default. This will likely only ever be a problem for legacy targets
and devices that cannot afford to enable REGMAP.
