[ Upstream commit 06ea594051707c6b8834ef5b24e9b0730edd391b ] When DMA_RALINK is enabled and DMADEVICES is disabled, it results in the following Kbuild warnings: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DMA_ENGINE Depends on [n]: DMADEVICES [=n] Selected by [y]: - DMA_RALINK [=y] && STAGING [=y] && RALINK [=y] && !SOC_RT288X [=n] WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DMA_VIRTUAL_CHANNELS Depends on [n]: DMADEVICES [=n] Selected by [y]: - DMA_RALINK [=y] && STAGING [=y] && RALINK [=y] && !SOC_RT288X [=n] The reason is that DMA_RALINK selects DMA_ENGINE and DMA_VIRTUAL_CHANNELS without depending on or selecting DMADEVICES while DMA_ENGINE and DMA_VIRTUAL_CHANNELS are subordinate to DMADEVICES. This can also fail building the kernel as demonstrated in a bug report. Honor the kconfig dependency to remove unmet direct dependency warnings and avoid any potential build failures.

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.
