DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER selects that for us, right?
Hm right I've missed that. Reminds me that you need one more patch at the
end to remove all the various select DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER from all drm
drivers. Otherwise this knob here won't work by default if you e.g. select
radeon. In general we can't mix explicit options with menu entries with a
select.
I was trying that out. Removing DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER and having
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION disabled breaks drivers which use FB stuff
internally in their respective xyz_fbdev.c files.
Are you saying that we should remove DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER for such drivers
and replace them with 'select DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION'?
Slightly tangential: As a rule of thumb, you should not "select"
anything that is visible in menuconfig or has dependencies [1]. This
will break the build eventually, and attempts to fix it are troublesome
[2].
Thanks, I'll keep this in mind!
