[PATCH] nouveau build regression, undefined reference to `acpi_video_get_edid'

[Phil Turmel <philip@turmel.org>]

Hi all,

I've got a build breakage on my laptop:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `nouveau_acpi_edid':
(.text+0x13404e): undefined reference to `acpi_video_get_edid'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

    drm/nouveau: support fetching LVDS EDID from ACPI

    Based on a patch from Matthew Garrett.

It doesn't seem to revert cleanly, but I believe the problem lies in these
two config entries:

CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m

Having the nouveau ACPI features depend on CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO instead of
bare CONFIG_ACPI builds, boots, and works for me.

Presumably, this could also be solved by adding
"select ACPI_VIDEO if ACPI" to the nouveau Kconfig.
I'd be happy to try that, if this approach is flawed.
