[PATCH v3 0/2] drm/fbdev: Move helpers to clients/ subdirectory

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2026-09-25 07:20:05
Also in: amd-gfx, dri-devel, intel-gfx, intel-xe, linux-arm-msm, linux-rockchip, linux-samsung-soc, linux-tegra, nouveau, sashiko-reviews

Helpers for fbdev emulation are still linked into drm_kms_helper.ko,
which is for mode setting. Move the source and header files to the
clients/ subdirectory and link them into drm_client_lib.ko. This has
some fallout throughout drivers, but it's all trivial.

There are 3 module parameters to drm_kms_helper.ko that control fbdev
emulation. For compatibility with existing installations, leave them
in this module.

v3:
- remove obsolete dependencies from Kconfig
v2:
- update armada and docs

Thomas Zimmermann (2):
  drm/fbdev: Move fbdev module parameters next to module init
  drm/fbdev: Move fbdev helpers into client library
