[PATCH] drm: aspeed: Select CMA only if available

[PATCH] drm: aspeed: Select CMA only if available

[Joel Stanley]

When building this driver for architectures where CMA is not available.

Fixes: 4f2a8f5898ec ("drm: Add ASPEED GFX driver")
Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>

This fixes the build break.

Another question is if we need to select this at all, as we have a
reserved memory region to allocate from. I am not familiar with this
area, so advice is welcome.

I'm no expert on this, but the rule is that you should not select
options that are user visible which both of these are. The user should
select them. So I believe that you should remove them.

I agree with your point, I was following what etnaviv did in this case.

As it's written the driver requires CMA to be enabled, or else it
fails to probe:

 [    3.398247] aspeed_gfx 1e6e6000.display: failed to initialize
reserved mem: -22
 [    3.410471] aspeed_gfx: probe of 1e6e6000.display failed with error -22

It was suggested by Michael that 'imply' might be appropriate here.
However, in my testing 'imply' does not set CMA=y . If I start from
both CMA and ASPEED_GFX disabled, and then use menuconfig to enable
ASPEED_GFX, I expected CMA to be enabled. It does not.

In v2[1] of this patch I make the driver depend on ARCH_ASPEED, which
being ARM means it has CMA available. The other case is when enabling
COMPILE_TEST, where the test for HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS will stop the
build break.

CMA only depends on MMU, so we should be safe to select it. I'm open
to other suggstions though.

Cheers,

Joel
