Hi Randy,

When DRM_SIMPLEDRM=m, all of FB_CFB_{FILLRECT,COPYAREA,IMAGEBLIT} are =m,
Why does that happen?
FB_SIMPLE does select FB_CFB_*, so all of the latter should be builtin?
Do I need my morning coffee? I'm about to fetch it...
causing undefined references in fbdev/simplefb.o.

By restricting FB_SIMPLEFB to be set only when DRM_SIMPLEDRM is not set,
the FB_CFB_* symbols are =y and the build completes without these
undefined references.

IOW, really "disable simplefb if simpledrm has been selected".
That does make sense, regardless of my question above ;-)
or1k-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x2c): undefined reference to `cfb_fillrect'

or1k-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x34): undefined reference to `cfb_imageblit'
