Right now it is inherent to the driver. 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
