[PATCH] fbdev: udlfb: make CONFIG_FB_DEVICE optional

From: Sukrut Heroorkar <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-24 17:58:49
Also in: dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem: displaylink usb 2.0 framebuffer driver (udlfb), framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Bernie Thompson, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

The udlfb driver exposes sysfs attributes thus depends upon
CONFIG_FB_DEVICE. This patch work wraps relavent code blocks
with #ifdef CONFIG_FB_DEVICE so that the driver can still be
built even when CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is not selected.

This addresses an item in Documentation/gpu/TODO.rst.
