I fixed a bug by adding a dependency in the network driver, but that fix
caused a related bug in the SCSI driver:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CHELSIO_T4
Depends on [m]: NETDEVICES [=y] && ETHERNET [=y] && NET_VENDOR_CHELSIO [=y] && PCI [=y] && (IPV6 [=y] || IPV6 [=y]=n) && (THERMAL [=m] || !THERMAL [=m])
Selected by [y]:
- SCSI_CXGB4_ISCSI [=y] && SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=y] && SCSI [=y] && PCI [=y] && INET [=y] && (IPV6 [=y] || IPV6 [=y]=n)
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_thermal.o: In function `cxgb4_thermal_init':
cxgb4_thermal.c:(.text+0x158): undefined reference to `thermal_zone_device_register'
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_thermal.o: In function `cxgb4_thermal_remove':
cxgb4_thermal.c:(.text+0x1d8): undefined reference to `thermal_zone_device_unregister'
/git/arm-soc/Makefile:1042: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
The same dependency needs to be propagated here to make it work correctly
with CONFIG_THERMAL=m and SCSI_CXGB4_ISCSI=y. That change by itself causes
another problem with a circular dependency, as we use 'select NETDEVICES'.
This is something we really should not do anyway, as a driver symbol should
never select another major subsystem, so let's turn that into a 'depends
on'. I don't see any downsides of that, as NETDEVICES is only disabled in
rather obscure cases that are not relevant to the users of cxgb4i.

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 Restructured Text 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.
