The FB_I810_I2C option was added in 74f6ae84b23 ("[PATCH] i810fb: Add i2c/DDC support"). What do you think about adding this bit from the commit message as the help text? Add DDC/I2C support for i810fb. This will allow the driver to get display information, especially for monitors with fickle timings. I'm not familiar with this code, so I don't want to do too much guessing myself. :) > > In the longer term we should consider removing *_I2C config options > and just make the main config options always enable I2C subsystem > directly if needed/useful (some fbdev drivers are doing it this way > already). > >> config FB_LE80578 >> tristate "Intel LE80578 (Vermilion) support" > > Best regards, > -- > Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz > Samsung R&D Institute Poland > Samsung Electronics > Cheers, Ulf ``` ## Re: \[PATCH 02/11\] video: fbdev: kconfig: Remove blank help text - From: Masahiro Yamada \ - Date: 2018-02-01 17:08:59 - Message: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2018/02/5201780.md ```text 2018-02-02 1:56 GMT+09:00 Ulf Magnusson [ref]: > On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 4:52 PM, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz > [ref] wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> On Wednesday, January 31, 2018 10:34:21 AM Ulf Magnusson wrote: >>> Blank help texts are probably either a typo, a Kconfig misunderstanding, >>> or some kind of half-committing to adding a help text (in which case a >>> TODO comment would be clearer, if the help text really can't be added >>> right away). >>> >>> Best to remove them, IMO. FYI. I picked up this patch to kbuild because I need this to suppress warning messages introduced by 11/11. I am planning to send a PR for this series. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada ``` ## Re: \[PATCH 02/11\] video: fbdev: kconfig: Remove blank help text - From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz \ - Date: 2018-02-13 12:31:56 - Message: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2018/02/5207765.md ```text On Thursday, February 01, 2018 05:56:18 PM Ulf Magnusson wrote: > On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 4:52 PM, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz > [ref] wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > On Wednesday, January 31, 2018 10:34:21 AM Ulf Magnusson wrote: > >> Blank help texts are probably either a typo, a Kconfig misunderstanding, > >> or some kind of half-committing to adding a help text (in which case a > >> TODO comment would be clearer, if the help text really can't be added > >> right away). > >> > >> Best to remove them, IMO. > > > > How about actually adding some meaningful help texts instead > > (as a general rule each user visible option should have valid > > help text)? > > > >> Signed-off-by: Ulf Magnusson > >> --- > >> drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig | 1 - > >> 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) > >> > >> diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig b/drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig > >> index 6962b4583fd7..11e699f1062b 100644 > >> --- a/drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig > >> +++ b/drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig > >> @@ -1156,7 +1156,6 @@ config FB_I810_I2C > >> bool "Enable DDC Support" > >> depends on FB_I810 && FB_I810_GTF > >> select FB_DDC > >> - help > > > > Please add a missing help text instead (take a look at FB_SAVAGE_I2C > > config option to see how a valid help text entry should look like). > > The FB_I810_I2C option was added in 74f6ae84b23 ("[PATCH] i810fb: Add > i2c/DDC support").

Seems fine to me, please add: If unsure, say Y. and send it as a proper patch. > I'm not familiar with this code, so I don't want to do too much > guessing myself. :) :) > > In the longer term we should consider removing *_I2C config options > > and just make the main config options always enable I2C subsystem > > directly if needed/useful (some fbdev drivers are doing it this way > > already). > > > >> config FB_LE80578 > >> tristate "Intel LE80578 (Vermilion) support" > > > > Best regards, > > -- > > Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz > > Samsung R&D Institute Poland > > Samsung Electronics > > > > Cheers, > Ulf Best regards, -- Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Samsung R&D Institute Poland Samsung Electronics ``` ## \[PATCH\] video: fbdev: kconfig: Add help text to FB\_I810\_I2C - From: Ulf Magnusson \ - Date: 2018-02-13 14:02:57 - Message: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2018/02/5207847.md ```text The FB_I810_I2C symbol previously had a blank help text, which was removed in e9829ac4e5fd ("video: fbdev: kconfig: Remove blank help text").
