Attachnig the config in question.The symbol info from xconfig says: Symbol: FB_CFB_FILLRECT [=m] Type : tristate Defined at drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:69 Depends on: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB [=y] Selected by [m]: [deleted] - FB_OF [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB [=y]=y && PPC [=y] && (!PPC_PSERIES [=y] || PCI [=y]) && !DRM_OFDRM [=m] I don't see why the 'select' from (bool) FB_OF would leave FB_CFB_FILLRECT (and the others) as =m instead of =y. Hopefully Masahiro can shed some light on this. -- ~RandyThe reason is shown in your paste of help message: "&& !DRM_OFDRM [=m]" downgrades it to "selected by m" To aid this particular case, the following will select FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y.
Thanks again for your help.

This change fixess the config for me.
Thomas, is this change to DRM_OFDRM under FB_OF acceptable to you?

Or, perhaps "depends on DRM_OFDRM = n" I do not know the intention of this dependency. Recommendation is to use "depends on" instead of "select" though. BTW, this is similar to what you asked before. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kbuild/e1a6228d-1341-6264-d97a-e2bd52a65c82@infradead.org/ (local) I tried to fix it in the past, but the issue was not as shallow as I had expected. I did not get around to revisiting this topic. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/1543216969-2227-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com/
