[PATCH v4] drm/xe: Allow building as kernel built-in

[PATCH v4] drm/xe: Allow building as kernel built-in

[Harry Austen]

Fix Kconfig symbol dependency on KUNIT, which isn't actually required
for XE to be built-in. However, if KUNIT is enabled, it must be built-in
too.

Also, allow DRM_XE_DISPLAY to be built-in. But only as long as DRM_I915
isn't, since that results in duplicate symbol errors.

Can we also get rid of the IOSF_MBI select? Not even xe_display depends on it, leftover from initial porting. :)

As this seems unrelated, I'd be happy to submit a separate patch for this
afterwards. Thanks for the suggestion.

same comment as in the previous version of this patch. What I don't like
is that it doesn't prevent you to do a bad selection. Instead if you set
DRM_XE=y and DRM_I915=y, you lose DRM_XE_DISPLAY. Silently. This is
equivalent of chosing the options via make menuconfig:

	# initial state
	./scripts/config --state CONFIG_DRM_XE --state CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY --state CONFIG_DRM_I915
	m
	y
	m

	# set CONFIG_DRM_XE to built-in
	./scripts/config -e CONFIG_DRM_XE && make -s olddefconfig
	./scripts/config --state CONFIG_DRM_XE --state CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY --state CONFIG_DRM_I915
	y
	y
	m

	# set CONFIG_DRM_I915 to built-in, we lose display with xe
	$ ~/p/linux-dim/drm-xe-next/scripts/config --state CONFIG_DRM_XE --state CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY --state CONFIG_DRM_I915
	y
	undef
	y

I'm not sure how to prevent setting CONFIG_DRM_I915=y if
CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY is selected.

Ah interesting, thanks for the example. I'll try a few different things and see
if I can get more sensible behaviour.

this part looks good and is more related to the title of this commit.
This doesn't need to wait the display thing below.

I think a reasonable compromise (since it's a temporary thing until we
spinoff the display part) is to move the dependency up, on drm_xe.
This way we don't silently lose display.

If we try to set drm_xe to y (and drm_i915==y), kconfig will complain.
If we try to set drm_i915 to y (and drm_xe==y), we will get drm_xe==m.
Which is better than losing display.
