The XE driver can be built with or without VSEC support, but fails to link as
built-in if vsec is in a loadable module:
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `xe_vsec_init':
(.text+0x1e83e16): undefined reference to `intel_vsec_register'
The normal fix for this is to add a 'depends on INTEL_VSEC || !INTEL_VSEC',
forcing XE to be a loadable module as well, but that causes a circular
dependency:
symbol DRM_XE depends on INTEL_VSEC
symbol INTEL_VSEC depends on X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES
symbol X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES is selected by DRM_XE
The problem here is selecting a symbol from another subsystem, so change
that as well and rephrase the 'select' into the corresponding dependency.
Since X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES is 'default y', there is no change to
defconfig builds here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
