Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] fbdev: omapfb: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 21:28:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230052827.4676-4-chintanlike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251230052827.4676-1-chintanlike@gmail.com>

omapfb provides several sysfs interfaces for framebuffer configuration
and debugging, but these are not required for the core driver.

Remove the hard dependency on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE and make sysfs support
optional by using dev_of_fbinfo() to obtain the backing device at runtime.
When FB_DEVICE is disabled, sysfs operations are skipped while the code
still builds and is type-checked.
