Re: [PATCH 11/12] drm/panic: Move panic display code into helper library

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] Missing fallback stubs for `drm_panic_helper_init` and `drm_panic_helper_exit` cause link failure when `CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_HELPER` is disabled.
- [Low] `DRM_KMS_HELPER` selects `DRM_PANIC_HELPER` without satisfying its `DRM_TTM` dependency.

--- Patch [11]: [PATCH 11/12] drm/panic: Move panic display code into helper library ---
commit 3d718c4f09d4c3ad0b378e7ca17f9b9b1d4d1627
Author: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>

drm/panic: Move panic display code into helper library
    
This commit extracts panic display functionality from drm_panic.c into a
new drm_panic_helper.c file. The KMS helper module is updated to link
this new helper object, and relevant Kconfig and Makefile entries are
added.

[Severity: Low]
Will this cause an unmet direct dependency warning in Kconfig?

DRM_KMS_HELPER selects DRM_PANIC_HELPER, but it doesn't inherit or ensure 
the DRM_TTM dependency is met. If a kernel is configured with DRM_KMS_HELPER
and DRM_PANIC enabled, but without DRM_TTM, it might lead to Kconfig warnings
or a build failure.

[Severity: Low]
Does this cause a link failure when CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_HELPER is disabled?

The calls to drm_panic_helper_init() and drm_panic_helper_exit() in
drm_kms_helper_common.c are unconditional. Without fallback static inline
stubs in drm_panic_internal.h when the feature is disabled, it seems this
will lead to unresolved external references during the linking phase.
