Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: udlfb: make CONFIG_FB_DEVICE optional
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 19:57:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924175743.6790-1-hsukrut3@gmail.com> (raw)
The udlfb driver exposes sysfs attributes thus depends upon
CONFIG_FB_DEVICE. This patch work wraps relavent code blocks
with #ifdef CONFIG_FB_DEVICE so that the driver can still be
built even when CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is not selected.
This addresses an item in Documentation/gpu/TODO.rst.
