Subject: [PATCH] drm/panel: select DRM_KMS_HELPER
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 07:48:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929114828.3260345-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
Since the panel_bridge code moved into drm_panel.c, any config with
DRM built in but without the KMS helpers fails to link, for example
arc haps_hs_smp_defconfig with allnoconfig and the kselftest fragment:
arc-elf32-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panel.o:(.rodata+0x28): undefined
reference to `drm_atomic_helper_bridge_duplicate_state'
arc-elf32-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panel.o:(.rodata+0x2c): undefined
reference to `drm_atomic_helper_bridge_destroy_state'
...
With DRM=m, modpost fails the same way:
ERROR: modpost: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panel.ko: symbol
'drm_atomic_helper_bridge_duplicate_state' undefined!
The panel_bridge used to live in bridge/panel.c, which was part of
drm_kms_helper and was therefore only built when DRM_KMS_HELPER was
enabled. drm_panel.c is built for DRM_PANEL instead, which
DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE selects whenever DRM_BRIDGE is set, and DRM_BRIDGE
is enabled for every DRM config. Nothing on that path selects
DRM_KMS_HELPER, so the bridge and connector helpers used by the moved
code can be missing.
The panel_bridge code in drm_panel.c is built unconditionally, so
make DRM_PANEL select DRM_KMS_HELPER.
