As a result of the recent Kconfig reworks, the default settings for the
framebuffer interfaces changed in unexpected ways:
Configurations that leave CONFIG_FB disabled but use DRM now get
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION by default. This also turns on the deprecated /dev/fb
device nodes for machines that don't actually want it.
In turn, configurations that previously had DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION enabled
now only get the /dev/fb front-end but not the more useful framebuffer
console, which is not selected any more.
We had previously decided that any combination of the three frontends
(FB_DEVICE, FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and LOGO) should be selectable, but the
new default settings mean that a lot of defconfig files would have to
get adapted.
Change the defaults back to what they were in Linux 6.5:
- Leave DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION turned off unless CONFIG_FB
is enabled. Previously this was a hard dependency but now the two are
independent. However, configurations that enable CONFIG_FB probably
also want to keep the emulation for DRM, while those without FB
presumably did that intentionally in the past.
- Leave FB_DEVICE turned off for FB=n. Following the same
logic, the deprecated option should not automatically get enabled
here, most users that had FB turned off in the past do not want it,
even if they want the console
- Turn the FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE option on if
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is set to avoid having to change defconfig
files that relied on it being selected unconditionally in the past.
This also makes sense since both LOGO and FB_DEVICE are now disabled
by default for builds without CONFIG_FB, but DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION
would make no sense if all three are disabled.
