Re: [PATCH] fbdev: Have CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY be tristate

Hi Arnd,
I think if you want to do a new version, that is likely to run
into new problems, given that this part of fbdev is particularly
fragile and partly wrong. On the other hand, it would be nice to
have a patch to limit the use of the notifiers to the smallest
set of kernel configs that actually need it, and leave it turned
off for everything else.

These are the ones I could find:

- CONFIG_GUMSTIX_AM200EPD (FB_EVENT_FB_REGISTERED)
I was surprised to see this driver is still around as many other old
drivers was nuked as part of the pxa cleanup.
It is the only user of FB_EVENT_FB_REGISTERED - so a potential cleanup
if the driver is no longer relevant.

Just a drive-by comment, this should not stop a v2 of the patchset.
