Add drm_client_lib.ko to contain DRM's built-in client. Move the existing client for fbdev emulation into the new module. Protect the new module behind CONFIG_DRM_CLIENT_LIB. The Kconfig rules separate the DRM drivers from the DRM clients. A driver can opt into the default clients, but the user configures each client individually. To do so, DRM drivers still select DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION. The option is now a tristate that further selects all dependencies of the enabled DRM clients. There's a menu option for each client. Enabling at least one client also selects DRM_CLIENT_SETUP, so that drivers call drm_client_setup(). New DRM clients should depend on DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION. There are existing kernel options in drm_fb_helper.o, so leave this file in the KMS-helper module for now. v5: - leave fbdev helpers in drm_kms_helper.ko for now v3: - fix commit changelog v2: - keep client code in core - protect lib with DRM_CLIENT_LIB - remove duplicate line from Makefile (Jocelyn) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cavitt <jonathan.cavitt@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20241014085740.582287-13-tzimmermann@suse.de
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 reStructuredText 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.
