Maybe fix this by following Yes, after reading the build errors reported by the robot I remembered that we had similar issues with sysfb, for example commit 1260b9a7020 ("drivers/firmware: fix SYSFB depends to prevent build failures") fixed one of those. > Tzung-Bi's advice of removing the local variables and then guard the > test by CONFIG_SYSFB.

I also believe that the local variables makes the code easier to read. But if you folks think that's better to drop them, I can do it in the next rev. Another option is to restrict the architectures where this driver could be build. As far as I understand it is mainly for x86 and ARM64 arches. These two have a screen_info defined so the driver will build correctly. I can include a preparatory patch that adds a "depends on x86 || ARM64". > Best regards > Thomas > -- Best regards, Javier Martinez Canillas Core Platforms Red Hat
