Building a multi-omap kernel is not impacted as long as the display isnot choosen in the build. Usually display is chosen from the board file.Solving this problem involves doing these selections in run time, NOT in build time. One of the solutions for this is to provide all this selections as part of some platform driver data. It _should_ be possible to build DSS2, VRFB AND Tiler code at the same time for a multi-omap build, and be executed selectively, depending on your silicon detection and board code execution. If you need to deselect it to succeed, then it's broken for multi-omap builds. That's the core problem and it hasn't been addressed until date.
I think the v3 patch set does it correctly. It allows VRFB to be built only if ARCH_OMAP2 || ARCH_OMAP3, but does not turn VRFB off on ARCH_OMAP4. Tomi
