-Subject: [PATCH] phy-core: Don't allow building phy-core as a module
-
-include/phy/phy.h has stub code in there for when building without the
-phy-core enabled. This is useful for generic drivers such as ahci-platform,
-ehci-platoform and ohci-platform which have support for driving an optional
-phy passed to them through the devicetree.
-
-Since on some boards this phy functionality is not needed, being able to
-disable the phy subsystem without needing a lot of #ifdef magic in the
-driver using it is quite useful.
-
-However this breaks when the module using the phy subsystem is build-in and
-the phy-core is not, which leads to the build failing with missing symbol
-errors in the linking stage of the zImage.
-
-Which leads to gems such as this being added to the Kconfig for achi_platform:
-
- depends on GENERIC_PHY || !GENERIC_PHY
-
-Rather then duplicating this code in a lot of places using the phy-core,
-I believe it is better to simply not allow the phy-core to be built as a
-module. The phy core is quite small and has no external dependencies, so
-always building it in when enabling it should not be an issue.
