Subject: [PATCH can] can: fix build dependency
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:45:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217-can-fix-dependency-v1-1-fd2d4f2a2bf5@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Arnd Bergmann's patch [1] fixed the build dependency problem introduced by
bugfix commit cb2dc6d2869a ("can: Kconfig: select CAN driver infrastructure
by default"). This ended up as commit 6abd4577bccc ("can: fix build
dependency"), but I broke Arnd's fix by removing a dependency that we
thought was superfluous.

Meanwhile the problem was also found by intel's kernel test robot,
complaining about undefined symbols:
| ERROR: modpost: "m_can_class_unregister" [drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.ko] undefined!
| ERROR: modpost: "m_can_class_free_dev" [drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.ko] undefined!
| ERROR: modpost: "m_can_class_allocate_dev" [drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.ko] undefined!
| ERROR: modpost: "m_can_class_get_clocks" [drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.ko] undefined!
| ERROR: modpost: "m_can_class_register" [drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.ko] undefined!
To fix this problem, add the missing dependency again.
