Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] fbdev: omapfb: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 20:42:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107044258.528624-4-chintanlike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260107044258.528624-1-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.
