That's probably from moving some of the functions into separate modules. Will be fixed soon.

GEM_CMA_HELPER depends on KMS_HELPER, but the latter is a module. That's probably the cause of the problem. Is it intentionally set this way?

I did the ARM cross-build and also see the linker error. I didn't understand why -- and still don't, but here is a little speculation:
In the past (e.g. 10 years ago), we have to move some .o files in lib/ from lib-y to obj-y so that they would always be included in the final object file and not cause their user/caller object files to suffer from undefined references. These happened because unused functions(?) in lib-y files are stripped out of the final object files. The same thing could be happening here (still just guessing).
Does that help any? I dunno.

From all I can tell, the problem is that DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER is a 'bool'
symbol, so if it gets selected by a '=m' driver, it turns into '=y', which then selects DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER=y, but that one cannot link against DRM_KMS_HELPER=m code.
This trivial change makes it all build:

Interestingly, I never hit the problem in randconfig testing since there is always some '=y' driver that selects DRM_KMS_HELPER.

Hi Arnd, Thomas had posted a patch that also fixes the problem. Somehow I missed seeing that the first time around.

Ah right, I missed that as well. That patch seems reasonable to me, but I think we may want both of them in this case, as it does not address DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER being set to =y when it is only used from modules.

Yes, the bool state was indeed the problem. The patch I posted resolves the issue for now. For later, I have a patchset that improves CMA helper usage a bit and resolves the Kconfig problem.
