Apologies if this is the wrong place to report a potential Kconfig issue with fbdev. Please let me know where I should move the discussion in that case. I'm trying to compile the backlight.ko module, by setting | CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m in my kernel `.config` file. The `FB_BACKLIGHT=y` configuration (also present in my kernel config) appears to override the `CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE` value above to "y", and so the backlight.ko module does not get built. It looks like this happens in the fbdev Kconfig, because if I change `drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig` as follows so that `BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE` is a "depends on", rather than a "select", it builds properly. In that case `CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m` is preserved. | config FB_BACKLIGHT | bool | depends on FB | select BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT | depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE | default n Without the above change, my kernel config reverts to `CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y` and the backlight.ko module is not built. I'm not entirely sure the "depends on" change is the right approach, especially with menuconfig. How best to fix this?
