It is probably possible to drop support for video overlay devices if CONFIG_FB=n, but it is not something I have time for. It's just a test driver (albeit a very useful test driver), so it is no big deal if it is disabled when CONFIG_FB=n.Ok, thanks for the reply, makes sense. I checked what other consequences there are if we disable CONFIG_FB and CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y in all the defconfigs now, as the patch from Kees did. It appears that the only other arm32 framebuffers that remain are FB_EFI=y, FB_WM8505=y, FB_MX3=m and FB_SIMPLE=y.
FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC on arm32 too.
As long as simplefb, efifb and xenfb are needed though, we probably want CONFIG_FB=y anyway and leaving VIVID=m with the dependency does not cause problems until those are all turned into drm drivers.
I will go ahead with this for the v7 defconfig. Cheers, Joel _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
