Subject: MIPS: Fix build error when SMP is used without GIC

From: Hauke Mehrtens <[email protected]>

commit 7a50e4688dabb8005df39b2b992d76629b8af8aa upstream.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP. The calls top the functions from smp-gic.c are already protected by some #ifdefs

The first part of this was introduced in commit 72e20142b2bf ("MIPS:
Move GIC IPI functions out of smp-cmp.c")
