ACPI_VIDEO stopped depending on VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL over 3 years ago (see commit 677bd810, "ACPI video: remove output switching control".) So it's about time to remove the Kconfig dependency between these two options.

Do you want me to take this series?
If other maintainers are OK with it, yes, I think that would be the easiest way. Thanks for proposing. All these patches depend on each other and must be applied in the right order, so pushing them through different trees would be slow at best, and risky.
Also, thinking about it, I wonder if the first 3 patches of the series could go to longterm kernel series? While they do not fix any build breakage nor run-time bug, without them everyone (on x86 at least) is forced to build dead code. This is kind of frustrating. They are simple and obvious enough that hopefully there won't be any objection.
Thanks,
