In the media drivers, the v4l2 core knows about all submodules
and calls into them from a common function. However this cannot
work if the modules that get called are loadable and the
core is built-in. In that case we get
drivers/built-in.o: In function `set_type':
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:301: undefined reference to `tea5767_attach'
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:307: undefined reference to `tea5761_attach'
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:349: undefined reference to `tda9887_attach'
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:405: undefined reference to `xc4000_attach'
This was working previously, until the IS_ENABLED() macro was used
to replace the construct like
#if defined(CONFIG_DVB_CX24110) || (defined(CONFIG_DVB_CX24110_MODULE) && defined(MODULE))
with the difference that the new code no longer checks whether it is being
built as a loadable module itself.
To fix this, this new patch adds an 'IS_REACHABLE' macro, which evaluates
true in exactly the condition that was used previously. The downside
of this is that this trades an obvious link error for a more subtle
runtime failure, but it is clear that the change that introduced the
link error was unintentional and it seems better to revert it for
now. Also, a similar change was originally created by Trent Piepho
and then reverted by teh change to the IS_ENABLED macro.
Ideally Kconfig would be used to avoid the case of a broken dependency,
or the code restructured in a way to turn around the dependency, but either
way would require much larger changes here.
