The patch titled
fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functions
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
fbdev-statically-link-the-framebuffer-notification-functions.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functions
From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@xxxxxxxxx>
The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the
lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.
To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.
