Your patch in general looks good.
But is renaming the config option from CONFIG_FB_CORE to CONFIG_VIDEO
the best choice?
CONFIG_VIDEO might be mixed up with multimedia/video-streaming.

Why not e.g. CONFIG_GRAPHICS_CORE?
I'm fine with CONFIG_VIDEO as well, but if someone has a better idea
we maybe should go with that instead now?


We already have CONFIG_VIDEO in drivers/video/Kconfig specifically for 
such low-level graphics code. For generic multimedia, we could have 
CONFIG_MEDIA, CONFIG_STREAMING, etc. rather than renaming an established 
Kconfig symbol.


Best regards

allows for the use of more fine-grained control for each directory's

[PATCH v2 1/3] arch: Select fbdev helpers with CONFIG_VIDEO

2024-03-27 Thread Thomas Zimmermann
Various Kconfig options selected the per-architecture helpers for
fbdev. But none of the contained code depends on fbdev. Standardize
on CONFIG_VIDEO, which will allow to add more general helpers for
video functionality.

CONFIG_VIDEO protects each architecture's video/ directory. This
allows for the use of more fine-grained control for each directory's
files, such as the use of CONFIG_STI_CORE on parisc.

- sparc: rebased onto Makefile changes
