fbdev: nvidiafb: add depends on HAS_IOPORT

2025-07-27T17:56:51Z

The nvidiafb driver uses inb()/outb() without depending on HAS_IOPORT, which leads to build errors since kernel v6.13-rc1: commit 6f043e757445 ("asm-generic/io.h: Remove I/O port accessors for HAS_IOPORT=n") Add the HAS_IOPORT dependency to prevent the build errors.

fbdev: Fix recursive dependencies wrt BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE

2024-12-17T17:06:10Z

Do not select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE from FB_BACKLIGHT. The latter only controls backlight support within fbdev core code and data structures. Make fbdev drivers depend on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and let users select it explicitly. Fixes warnings about recursive dependencies, such as error: recursive dependency detected! symbol BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is selected by FB_BACKLIGHT symbol FB_BACKLIGHT is selected by FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC symbol FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC depends on FB_DEVICE symbol FB_DEVICE depends on FB_CORE symbol FB_CORE is selected by DRM_GEM_DMA_HELPER symbol DRM_GEM_DMA_HELPER is selected by DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9341 symbol DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9341 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is user-selectable, so making drivers adapt to it is the correct approach in any case. For most drivers, backlight support is also configurable separately. v3: - Select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE in PowerMac defconfigs (Christophe) - Fix PMAC_BACKLIGHT module dependency corner cases (Christophe) v2: - s/BACKLIGHT_DEVICE_CLASS/BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE (Helge) - Fix fbdev driver-dependency corner case (Arnd) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20241216074450.8590-2-tzimmermann@suse.de

fbdev: da8xx: remove the driver

This driver is no longer used on any platform. It has been replaced by tilcdc on the two DaVinci boards we still support and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski Acked-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: sstfb: Make CONFIG_FB_DEVICE optional

2024-10-15T08:07:31Z

The sstfb driver currently depends on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE to create sysfs entries and access info->dev. This patch wraps the relevant code blocks with #ifdef CONFIG_FB_DEVICE, allowing the driver to be built and used even if CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is not selected. The sysfs setting only controls the VGA pass-through state and is not required for the display to work correctly. (See: http://vogonswiki.com/index.php/VGA_passthrough_cable for more information.)

fbdev: add HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2024-04-10T13:24:02Z

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them. Co-developed-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Niklas Schnelle Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

2024-04-10T13:18:24Z

There is no reason to prohibit sh7760fb from being built as a loadable module as suggested by Geert, so change the config symbol from bool to tristate to allow that and change the FB dependency as needed.
