NAK
There are several problems with making it modular. I did try, cfr. the
incomplete patchlets below.

I'm not sure it will survive a kexec() of a new kernel if ps3fb_cleanup()
isn't called when ps3fb.ko has been loaded. But that's an issue for later...

Now it fails to link with:

Lovely... Consider that one withdrawn, please. FWIW, if we leave it bool
(and flip_ctl mess alone would make a good reason for that) we probably want
to have it depend on FB=y

What's the advantage of making FB_PS3 depend on FB=y vs. plain FB?
In both cases it can be enabled if FB=y only, right? Or am I missing something?

Nope. How can kconfig distinguish that from a boolean option in modular
driver? bool *can* depend on tristate and be selected when tristate is
set to m.

Sorry, you're right. I tried it before sending the previous mail, but
apparently I made a mistake. I tried again, and now it indeed allows me to
select FB_PS3.

Btw, this is one of those things that easily causes problems.
In many ways it would be nice if we had two different kinds of "bool": one
where "m" in the dependency chain means "y" is ok, and one where "m" means
"n".
We used to have "dep_bool" and "dep_mbool" for this, a long time ago. It
got dropped in the Kconfig language rewrite, and I think it was a mistake.
So I think it would be nice to re-introduce it. As it is, we have a number
of Kconfig language constructs that are just unnecessarily hard to
understand, because we end up having to add a "= y" or similar.
The rule *used* to be: "dep_mbool" was a boolean that was valid even for
modules, while "dep_bool" was a boolean that was valid only for straigth
"y", and a module would turn it off.
Maybe not "bool" vs "mbool", but it might be nice to have
bool FB_PS3
depends strictly on FB
ie a "depends strictly" refuses to upgrade a bool dependency from "m" to
"y", while a regular depends allows it.
Or something.. The "depends strictly on X" thing would really be just a
mental shorthand for "depends on (X)=y" (it's actually longer to type, but
I think it's a bit more intuitive, thus "mental shortcut").

I just found another caveat: while `select' is some super-override-it-all that
ignores depends on non-existent symbols, it doesn't promote `m' to `y'.
E.g. `select FB_CFB_FILLRECT' from a bool still gives FB_CFB_FILLRECT=m if
FB=m.
Anyway, here's a fix for the 3 problematic cases I found.
Subject: bool fbdevs must depend on FB = y
Frame buffer device drivers that cannot be built as modules must depend on
`FB = y'. Correct the 3 remaining offenders.

There's a fun side question, though: what should allmodconfig do? FB=m,
FB_PS3=n? Or FB=y, FB_PS3=y?

FB can be a module, so FB=m, FB_PS3=n.
It doesn't say anything about things that can't be modules :-)
But I agree the chances of getting a system that doesn't work increase...

No, I realize what kind of behaviour we'll get if we go for dependency on
FB=y. However, if we really introduce a new kconfig primitive, it might
make sense to teach allmodconfig to deal with it.

True, I tried to prevent the logo from being drawn if the driver is
loaded first prior to fbcon, but the code will still draw the logo if
the load order is reversed. Can you try this patch? It will only
permit the drawing of the logo if both the driver and fbcon are compiled
statically.
