Re: [PATCH] fbdev/sh7760fb: Depend on FB=y

Thomas Zimmermann [off-list ref] writes:

Hello Thomas,

Fix linker error if FB=m about missing fb_io_read and fb_io_write. The
linker's error message suggests that this config setting has already
been broken for other symbols.

  All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):
