Arnd Bergmann b3bd0f2849 staging/vc04_services: add CONFIG_OF dependency
After several hours of debugging this obviously bogus but elaborate
gcc-7.0.1 warning,

drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_2835_arm.c: In function 'vchiq_complete_bulk':
drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_2835_arm.c:603:4: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
    memcpy((char *)page_address(pages[0]) +
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     pagelist->offset,
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     fragments,
     ~~~~~~~~~~
     head_bytes);
     ~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from include/linux/string.h:18:0,
                 from include/linux/bitmap.h:8,
                 from include/linux/cpumask.h:11,
                 from include/linux/interrupt.h:9,
                 from drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_2835_arm.c:37:
arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:16:15: note: in a call to function 'memcpy' declared here
 extern void * memcpy(void *, const void *, __kernel_size_t) __nocapture(2);
               ^~~~~~

I have concluded that gcc was technically right in the first place:

vchiq_complete_bulk is an externally visible function that calls
free_pagelist(), which in turn derives a pointer from the global
g_fragments_base variable.

g_fragments_base is initialized in vchiq_platform_init(), but
we only get there if of_property_read_u32() successfully reads the
cache line size. When CONFIG_OF is disabled, this always fails, and
g_fragments_base is guaranteed to be NULL when vchiq_complete_bulk()
gets called.

This adds a CONFIG_OF Kconfig dependency, which is also technically correct
but nonobvious, and thus seems like a good fit for the warning.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
