From: Arnd Bergmann The 'select PRINTK_EXECUTION_CTX' line now causes a harmless warning when NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC is enabled but PRINTK is not: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PRINTK_EXECUTION_CTX Depends on [n]: PRINTK [=n] Selected by [y]: - NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC [=y] && NETDEVICES [=y] && NET_CORE [=y] && NETCONSOLE [=y] && SYSFS [=y] && CONFIGFS_FS [=y] && (NETCONSOLE [=y]!=y [=y] || CONFIGFS_FS [=y]!=m [=m]) In that configuration, the netconsole driver is useless anyway, so avoid this with an added dependency that prevents CONFIG_NETCONSOLE to be enabled without CONFIG_PRINTK.
