What about this proposal: a) adding a Kconfig option like: CONFIG_FB_DRIVERS - enable if you need the fbdev drivers. For DRM-only this should be disabled. b) Add to every native fbdev driver a "depends on FB_DRIVERS" in the Kconfig files. c) That way we can use "#if defined(CONFIG_FB_DRIVERS).." to exclude code in fbcon which isn't needed by DRM.
I proposed something similar in:
