From f56530dcdb0684406661ac9f1accf48319d07600 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maciej Żenczykowski Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2022 16:01:13 -0700 Subject: net: usb: make USB_RTL8153_ECM non user configurable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This refixes: commit 7da17624e7948d5d9660b910f8079d26d26ce453 nt: usb: USB_RTL8153_ECM should not default to y In general, device drivers should not be enabled by default. which basically broke the commit it claimed to fix, ie: commit 657bc1d10bfc23ac06d5d687ce45826c760744f9 r8153_ecm: avoid to be prior to r8152 driver Avoid r8153_ecm is compiled as built-in, if r8152 driver is compiled as modules. Otherwise, the r8153_ecm would be used, even though the device is supported by r8152 driver. this commit amounted to: drivers/net/usb/Kconfig: +config USB_RTL8153_ECM + tristate "RTL8153 ECM support" + depends on USB_NET_CDCETHER && (USB_RTL8152 || USB_RTL8152=n) + default y + help + This option supports ECM mode for RTL8153 ethernet adapter, when + CONFIG_USB_RTL8152 is not set, or the RTL8153 device is not + supported by r8152 driver. drivers/net/usb/Makefile: -obj-$(CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER) += cdc_ether.o r8153_ecm.o +obj-$(CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER) += cdc_ether.o +obj-$(CONFIG_USB_RTL8153_ECM) += r8153_ecm.o And as can be seen it pulls a piece of the cdc_ether driver out into a separate config option to be able to make this piece modular in case cdc_ether is builtin, while r8152 is modular. While in general, device drivers should indeed not be enabled by default: this isn't a device driver per say, but rather this is support code for the CDCETHER (ECM) driver, and should thus be enabled if it is enabled.

I believe this way we don't bring back Marek's complaint. Side note: these incorrect defaults will result in Android 13 on 5.15 GKI kernels lacking USB_RTL8153_ECM support while having USB_NET_CDCETHER (luckily we also have USB_RTL8150 and USB_RTL8152, so it's probably only an issue for very new RTL815x hardware with no native 5.15 driver).
