SubjectRe: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv/pci: remove dead code from !CONFIG_EEH
Date
Hi Nick,

This seemed odd to me, but I think you're right:

arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig contains:

config EEH
bool
depends on (PPC_POWERNV || PPC_PSERIES) && PCI
default y

It's not configurable from e.g. make menuconfig because there's no prompt.
You can attempt to explicitly disable it with e.g. `scripts/config -d EEH`
but then something like `make oldconfig` will silently re-enable it for
you.

It's been forced on since commit e49f7a9997c6 ("powerpc/pseries: Rivet
CONFIG_EEH for pSeries platform") in 2012 which fixed it for
pseries. That moved out from pseries to pseries + powernv later on.

There are other cleanups in the same vein that could be made, from the
Makefile (which has files only built with CONFIG_EEH) through to other
source files. It looks like there's one `#ifdef CONFIG_EEH` in
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c that could be pulled out, for
example.

I think it's probably worth trying to rip out all of those in one patch?

Kind regards,
Daniel
