That would normally be me, but I've been on a long leave, and just came
back. It'll take me some time to get back on track.

I don't think it makes sense to add ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM only for omapdss,
like this patch does. I think we should add it for omapfb and the panel
drivers also.

I did get a report of an omapdss build-break with allyesconfig. It seems
to happen because omapdrm and omap_vout use "select" to enable omapdss,
instead of depending on omapdss. This causes an illegal config to be
created. Perhaps this is the problem that Rob mentions in his patch?

Adding ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM for omapdss, as this patch does, removes
(well, hides) the above mentioned problem and allyesconfig works ok. You
can still break the config, but you need to manually select the Kconfig
options the wrong way.

I have patches to add the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM for omapdss, and to fix the
omap_vout and omapdrm Kconfig files. Each of them changes only one line.
Arnd, are you ok with queuing those patches via arm-soc/fixes? Or should
I send them individually to respective maintainers?

I can send the patches properly for review, but I've also attached them
here so Rob can test.
