Subject: [PATCH v8 1/2] staging: fbtft: Fix build failure when CONFIG_FB_DEVICE=n
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 19:16:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122031635.11414-1-chintanlike@gmail.com> (raw)

When CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is disabled, struct fb_info does
not provide a valid dev pointer. Direct dereferences of
fb_info->dev therefore result in build failures.

Fix this by avoiding direct accesses to fb_info->dev and
switching the affected debug logging to framebuffer helpers
that do not rely on a device pointer.

This fixes the following build failure reported by the
kernel test robot.

Fixes: a06d03f9f238 ("staging: fbtft: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202601110740.Y9XK5HtN-lkp@intel.com

Changes in v8:
- Add Reviewed-by tag from Andy Shevchenko.

Changes in v7:
- Split logging cleanups into a separate patch
- Limit this patch to the CONFIG_FB_DEVICE=n build fix only

Changes in v6:
- Switch debug/info logging to fb_dbg() and fb_info()(suggested by Thomas Zimmermann)
- Drop dev_of_fbinfo() usage in favor of framebuffer helpers that implicitly
  handle the debug/info context.
- Drop __func__ usage per review feedback(suggested by greg k-h)
- Add Fixes tag for a06d03f9f238 ("staging: fbtft: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional")
  (suggested by Andy Shevchenko)

Changes in v5:
- Initial attempt to replace info->dev accesses using
  dev_of_fbinfo() helper
