The below compile time error can be seen when PHYLIB is configured as a module. ld: drivers/net/pcs/pcs-xpcs.o: in function `xpcs_read': pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `mdiobus_read' ld: drivers/net/pcs/pcs-xpcs.o: in function `xpcs_soft_reset.constprop.7': pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0x80): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write' ld: drivers/net/pcs/pcs-xpcs.o: in function `xpcs_config_aneg': pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0x318): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write' ld: pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0x38e): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write' ld: pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0x3eb): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write' ld: pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0x437): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write' ld: drivers/net/pcs/pcs-xpcs.o:pcs-xpcs.c:(.text+0xb1e): more undefined references to `mdiobus_write' follow PHYLIB being a module leads to MDIO_BUS being a module as well while the XPCS is still built-in. What should happen in this configuration is that PCS_XPCS should be forced to build as module. However, that select only acts in the opposite way so we should turn it into a depends. Fix this up by explicitly depending on MDIO_BUS.

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.
