We had commit 06e226c7fb23 ("clk: sunxi-ng: Move all clock types to a library") and commit 799c43415442 ("kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs") in the same development cycle, from different trees. With migration to the thin archive, the entire drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/lib.a is linked to the vmlinux. This does not break build, but we do not get any size saving. However, we do not need to go back to the individual Kconfig options. The default configuration pulls in all (or most) of the CCU parts anyway. Also, once we enable CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, we can simply list all files with obj-y, and the linker will drop all unused functions by itself. After the long discussion [1], people there agreed to fix this, but nobody sent a patch after all. I am doing it now. I lifted up CONFIG_SUNXI_CCU to drivers/clk/Makefile because everything in drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ depends on SUNXI_CCU.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
