Re: drm/layerscape: Add Freescale DCU DRM driver

[Andreas Ruprecht]

Hi Jianwei,

your commit 109eee2f2a18 ("drm/layerscape: Add Freescale DCU DRM
driver") showed up in linux-next today (i.e., next-20150821). I noticed
it because we are running a daily analysis on the newest linux-next tree
as part of our research.

In the source code of fsl_dcu_drm_drv.c, there is the following #ifdef:
 #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
        .compat_ioctl   = drm_compat_ioctl,
 #endif

The Kconfig option for the driver, however, states that the driver can
only be built with CONFIG_ARM enabled:

config DRM_FSL_DCU
       tristate "DRM Support for Freescale DCU"
       depends on DRM && OF && ARM
       [...]

Inside arch/arm/, however, there is no definition of CONFIG_COMPAT (note
that there is one in arch/arm64/, but the driver explicitely needs
CONFIG_ARM), so the #ifdef block above can never be compiled in the
current state. Is this intended?

Regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, this driver should also work on the
arm64 SOCs using DCU in the future. So I did some prepare for adapting
arm64 SOCs. But for now, It only support 32bit arm SOCs.

Regards,

Jianwei.
