Hello,

I am seeing these errors:

cfb_fillrect is provided by drivers/video/fbdev/core/cfbfillrect.c

It is compiled when CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT
drivers/video/fbdev/core/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT)  += cfbfillrect.o

drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_FB_OF)               += offb.o
is compiled when CONFIG_FB_OF

It selects CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT
config FB_OF
        bool "Open Firmware frame buffer device support"
        depends on (FB = y) && PPC && (!PPC_PSERIES || PCI)
        select APERTURE_HELPERS
        select FB_CFB_FILLRECT
        select FB_CFB_COPYAREA
        select FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT
        select FB_MACMODES

The config has FB_OF built-in and FB_CFB_FILLRECT modular
config/ppc64le/vanilla:CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=m
config/ppc64le/vanilla:CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=m
config/ppc64le/vanilla:CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=m
config/ppc64le/vanilla:CONFIG_FB_OF=y

It only depends on FB which mut be built-in for FB_OF
config FB_CFB_FILLRECT
        tristate
        depends on FB

Is select in kconfig broken?

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.

The 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.

Thanks for clarification.

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.

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.
