The crypto octeontx2 driver depends on the mbox code in the network tree. It tries to select the MBOX Kconfig option but that option itself depends on many other options which are not selected, e.g., CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MARVELL. It would be inappropriate to select them all as randomly prompting the user for network options which would oterhwise be disabled just because a crypto driver has been enabled makes no sense. This patch fixes this by adding a dependency on NET_VENDOR_MARVELL. This makes the crypto driver invisible if the network option is off. If the crypto driver must be visible even without the network stack then the shared mbox code should be moved out of drivers/net.

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.
