[PATCH] video/fbdev: Always built-in video= cmdline parsing

From: Daniel Vetter <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-06 09:43:38

In drm/i915 we want to get at the video= cmdline modes even when we
don't have fbdev support enabled, so that users can always override
the kernel's initial mode selection.

But that gives us a direct depency upon the parsing code in the fbdev
subsystem. Since it's so little code just extract these 2 functions
and always build them in.

Whiel at it fix the checkpatch fail in this code.

I prefer if we can merge this through drm-next since we'll use it
there in follow-up patches.

How much is "so little"? Think memory-constrained systems.

You can still build it depending on CONFIG_FB or CONFIG_DRM_I915.

The above chunk doesn't sound appropriate for extracting existing code...

I'll do it as an option selected by FB and DRM then.

Well it all horribly predates git history, so no idea who actually wrote
this. I'll copy over the old header on top.
