[PATCH v2] of: OF_IRQ: select IRQ_DOMAIN instead of depending on it

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Tue Feb 13 2024 - 17:56:33 EST


IRQ_DOMAIN is a hidden (not user visible) symbol. Users cannot set
it directly thru "make *config", so drivers should select it instead
of depending on it if they need it.
Relying on it being set for a dependency is risky.

Consistently using "select" or "depends on" can also help reduce
Kconfig circular dependency issues.

Therefore, change OF_IRQ's use of "depends on" to "select".

This patch reduces one Kconfig circular dependency in
drivers/mux/Kconfig when MUX_MMIO attempts to select REGMAP (a failed
patch), which that driver needs (but does not completely resolve that
issue). [1]
