Subject: [PATCH 0/2] drm/fbdev: Move helpers to clients/ subdirectory
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:59:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923110537.451614-1-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
Helpers for fbdev emulation are still linked into drm_kms_helper.ko,
which is for mode setting. Move the source and header files to the
clients/ subdirectory and link them into drm_client_lib.ko. This has
some fallout throughout drivers, but it's all trivial.
There are 3 module parameters to drm_kms_helper.ko that control fbdev
emulation. For compatibility with existing installations, leave them
in this module.
