The new module drm_client_lib.ko stores most of the common client
code. It's designed such that drivers can opt into client support,
but the presence of the client module depends on the user's kernel
configuration. Without selected clients, no client module will be
build.
Thomas Zimmermann (5):
drm/i915: Select DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION
drm/xe: Select DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION
BTW, we are using drm_client in amdgpu, as well:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11/source/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd.c#L155
Right. Patch 5 selects DRM_CLIENT in the driver's Kconfig item. This
will prove the plain drm_client code without any of the shared
implementations (fbdev, log, etc). Unless the user enabled such an
implementation, of course.
I've tried several combinations of =y and =m settings of these options
and found this to be working well.
Best regards
Thomas
