Subject: [PATCH] firmware/google: drop 'select EFI' to avoid recursive dependency
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:39:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390473588-23367-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)

The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI. This
causes problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that
depends on EFI, as it results in a recursive dependency:

arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected!
arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:	symbol DMI depends on EFI

Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.
