I am seeing this (happens to be on i386; I doubt that it matters):
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for NET_SWITCHDEV
  Depends on [n]: NET [=y] && INET [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV [=y] && NETDEVICES [=y] && ETHERNET [=y] && NET_VENDOR_TI [=y] && (ARCH_DAVINCI || ARCH_OMAP2PLUS || COMPILE_TEST [=y])

because TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV blindly selects NET_SWITCHDEV even though
INET is not set/enabled, while NET_SWITCHDEV depends on INET.

However, the build succeeds, including net/switchdev/*.

So why does NET_SWITCHDEV depend on INET?

It looks like TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV should depend on INET (based on the
Kconfig rules), but in practice it doesn't seem to matter to the build.

thanks.
