If there are drivers that use the interfaces but shouldn't then fixing those drivers is clearly better than adding a dependency, but we can decide that when someone sends a patch. Adding a stub helper that can never be used legitimately but turns a build time error into a run time warning seems counterproductive to me, as the CI systems are no longer able to report these automatically.

I think these three are all regressions that are caused by the patch in this thread, rather than the original problem that it was trying to fix. The one we're looking for is a randconfig bug that showed up as a link failure when referencing gpiochip_request_own_desc or gpiochip_free_own_desc. Arnd
