Jernej? Chen-Yu? Any opinion on this? 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).
