As ACPI always uses I/O port access we simply depend > on HAS_IOPORT. CONFIG_ACPI depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI, which is only set by arm64, ia64, and x86, all of which support I/O port access. So does this actually solve a problem? I wouldn't think you'd be able to build ACPI on s390 even without this patch. "ACPI always uses I/O port access" is a pretty broad brush, and it would be useful to know specifically what the dependencies are. Many ACPI hardware accesses use acpi_hw_read()/acpi_hw_write(), which use either MMIO or I/O port accesses depending on what the firmware told us. > Co-developed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@kernel.org> > Signed-off-by: Niklas Schnelle <schnelle@linux.ibm.com> > --- > drivers/acpi/Kconfig | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/acpi/Kconfig b/drivers/acpi/Kconfig > index 1e34f846508f..8ad0d168004c 100644 > --- a/drivers/acpi/Kconfig > +++ b/drivers/acpi/Kconfig > @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ > > config ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI > bool > + depends on HAS_IOPORT > > menuconfig ACPI > bool "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support" > -- > 2.32.0 >

I think this came from my original prototype of the series where I tested it out on arm64 with HAS_IOPORT disabled. I would like to hide the definition of inb()/outb() from include/asm-generic/io.h whenever CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT is not set, and I was prototyping this on arm64. There are uses of inb()/outb() in drivers/acpi/ec.c and drivers/acpi/osl.c, which in turn are not optional in ACPI, so it seems that those are required. If we want to allow building arm64 without HAS_IOPORT for some reason, that means either force-disabling ACPI as well, or changin ACPI to not rely on port I/O. I think it's fine to leave that as a problem for whoever wants to make HAS_IOPORT optional in the future, and drop the dependency here. Arnd

I also agree with Arnd that since all architectures where ACPI is useful have I/O ports making it work without I/O port access compiled in is for another day.

I don't really see the point of including this patch at all. It doesn't solve any existing problem.

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will result in inb()/outb() and friends not being declared. As ACPI always uses I/O port access we simply depend on HAS_IOPORT.
