Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] drm/fbdev: Move helpers to clients/ subdirectory
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:29:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924093036.82356-1-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.
v2:
- update armada and docs
