Recursive dependency detected with bmc2711_defconfig on rpi-5.10.y branch

[graysky2]

Describe the bug
The bmc2711_defconfig target causes a recursive dependency.

To reproduce

1. Checkout 7f8da0e
2. make bcm2711_defconfig

Expected behaviour
The make target should create a .config without errors

Actual behaviour
The make target ends in errors:

% make bcm2711_defconfig
drivers/staging/vc04_services/vc-sm-cma/Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/staging/vc04_services/vc-sm-cma/Kconfig:1:	symbol BCM_VC_SM_CMA is selected by BCM2835_VCHIQ_MMAL
drivers/staging/vc04_services/vchiq-mmal/Kconfig:1:	symbol BCM2835_VCHIQ_MMAL depends on BCM2835_VCHIQ
drivers/staging/vc04_services/Kconfig:14:	symbol BCM2835_VCHIQ is selected by BCM_VC_SM_CMA

I get the same also on 5.10.4

Ditto on Raspberry Pi (1) , 2, and 3, with posts above. Same error:

Same issue. There is something wrong.

[geerlingguy]

Just adding a ditto—after pulling latest today my compiles started failing. Reverting to my previous branch checkout fixes it.

[ncopa]

This is caused by f1ef95a from RPI conflicting with
b4db71c from upstream.

Reverting either of those fixes it.

[pelwell]

Fixed by #4038.

[Dark-Sky]

I confirm with the 7e7689a commit it will now compile.

[graysky2]

Agreed, fixed, thanks!
