Tiler support is not yet in OMAP builds. So multi-omap build will NOT break, but would exclude VRFB feature in the build.
in which case, is'nt this patch redundant :) ?

joking apart, would'nt a set of function pointers be better - the
function pointers could be runtime initialized. the rotational functions
for Tiler OR vrfb could be used?
just an addon -> I can see one more potential user of the FEATURES 
framework like dma descriptor feature.. what kind of rotator do we have? 
vrfb Vs tiler..

Building a multi-omap kernel is not impacted as long as the
display is not choosen in the build.  Usually display is
chosen from the board file.

So you are saying it *IS* broken when wanting vrfb on omap3
and tiler on omap4, right?

Exclude VRFB from OMAP4 onwards and include only for
OMAP2 and OMAP3 builds.  In OMAP4 VRFB HW IP is replaced
with a new HW IP "TILER"

How does this work for multi-omap kernels, e.g. building a
kernel with beagle and panda support?
