Tested this patch. SOUNWIRE_AMD flag is not selected by default causing AMD SOF driver for ACP 6.3 platform is build without enabling SoundWire.
Yes, that is what I described. But as SOUNWIRE_AMD is a user visible symbol, there is no problem in expecting users to enable it when they have this hardware, and distros just enable all the drivers anyway.
Want to set SOUNDWIRE_AMD flag by default, similar to Intel & Qcom platforms instead of explicitly enabling the Kconfig option.
Maybe use 'default SND_SOC_SOF_AMD_TOPLEVEL' then?
Didn't get your point.
Even with the current patch, if we select 'SOUNDWIRE_AMD' flag explicitly AMD ACP63 SOF driver Kconfig option is not visible for user configuration. This results in ACP63 SOF driver won't be built at all.
I don't think copying the mistake from the intel driver is helpful, though I agree it would be nice to be consistent between them.
As a general rule, you should not have a Kconfig symbol that is both user visible and also selected by the drivers that depend on it.
To avoid the dependency problems from coming back and keep the complexity to a minimum, I think there are two logical ways to handle soundwire:
a) keep the current drivers/soundwire/Kconfig contents and change all the 'select SOUNDWIRE_foo' to 'depends on'.
Current patch already using 'depends on SOUNDWIRE_AMD" for SND_SOC_SOF_AMD_SOUNDWIRE Kconfig option. Still we couldn't see SND_SOC_SOF_AMD_ACP63 Kconfig option is enabled.
b) keep all the 'select SOUNDWIRE_foo' but drop the prompts, requiring that all drivers that use soundwire have the correct select statements, with the main CONFIG_SOUNDWIRE getting selected by the individual drivers.
Didn't get your point. Could you please elaborate?
