net: build all switchdev drivers as modules when the bridge is a module
Currently, all drivers depend on the bool CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV, but only the drivers that call some sort of function exported by the bridge, like br_vlan_enabled() or whatever, have an extra dependency on CONFIG_BRIDGE. Since the blamed commit, all switchdev drivers have a functional dependency upon switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload(), which is a pair of functions exported by the bridge module and not by the bridge-independent part of CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV. Problems appear when we have: CONFIG_BRIDGE=m CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV=y CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV=y because cpsw, am65_cpsw and sparx5 will then be built-in but they will call a symbol exported by a loadable module. This is not possible and will result in the following build error: drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_new.o: in function `cpsw_netdevice_event': drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_new.c:1520: undefined reference to `switchdev_bridge_port_offload' drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_new.c:1537: undefined reference to `switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload' As mentioned, the other switchdev drivers don't suffer from this because switchdev_bridge_port_offload() is not the first symbol exported by the bridge that they are calling, so they already needed to deal with this in the same way.
