The DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV and DRM_DP_CEC Kconfig symbols enable code that use DP helper functions, that are only present if CONFIG_DRM_DISPLAY_DP_HELPER is also enabled. But these don't select the DRM_DISPLAY_DP_HELPER symbol, meaning that it is possible to enable any of them without CONFIG_DRM_DISPLAY_DP_HELPER. That will lead to the following linking errors with the mentioned config: LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.symvers MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo GEN modules.builtin LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2 KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S LD vmlinux SYSMAP System.map SORTTAB vmlinux OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image MODPOST modules-only.symvers ERROR: modpost: "drm_dp_dpcd_write" [drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_display_helper.ko] undefined!

Note: It seems this has been an issue for a long time but was made easier to reproduce after the commit1e0f66420b("drm/display: Introduce a DRM display-helper module"). Adding a Fixes: tag just to make sure that this fix will be picked for stable once the mentioned change also lands there.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
