I guess that only means building sun8i_tcon_top.o with DRM_SUN4I instead of  
DRM_SUN8I_MIXER.

While this would be simple solution, sun8i_tcon_top would be dead weight if 
DRM_SUN8I_MIXER is disabled. But it is really small module, so I don't see any 
harm.

Additionally, with my follow up R40 HDMI series, there is even more calls from 
DRM_SUN4I enabled drivers to sun8i_tcon_top driver.

So I'm also for sun8i_tcon_top.o being build with DRM_SUN4I, because it is 
simpler, cleaner and it's symbols (including those introduced in R40 HDMI 
follow up series) are used mostly by DRM_SUN4I drivers (only exception being 
sun8i_dw_hdmi).

Best regards,
Jernej
