Peter Robinson suggested to make the driver mutually exclusive and add !FB_SSD1307 in the config symbol.
And how will distros choose "the right" option in this case?
It depends on the distro. In Fedora we are disabling *all* the fbdev drivers.
What to do when I wan to see a regression and I want to change drivers w/o recompilation?
If you want to have the two drivers without recompilation (and same compatible to match) then how would kmod / udev choose which one to load ? It becomes a race condition between the two drivers which one probes first.
NAK from me to that proposal.
What's your suggestion then to solve the issue mentioned above ? With my distro maintainer hat I don't care that much, since the fbdev drivers will be disabled.
Best regards,
