Out of curiosity: I might be missing something, but why wasn't the (afaics simple) fix for a build problem caused by 9d6366e743f3 ("drm: fb_helper: improve CONFIG_FB dependency") (merged for v5.16-rc1) not among these fixes? I mean this one: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220203093922.20754-1-tzimmermann@suse.de/
It's sitting in next for a few days already: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?...
I already asked a few days ago why this fix was not on track for merging in this cycle, but I didn't get an answer: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/782a683e-c625-8e68-899b-ce56939afece@leemhuis.i...
Fun fact: It seems the problem and at a rough fix were already kinda known mid November when 9d6366e743f3 was still in next: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211117062704.14671-1-rdunlap@infradead.org/
Then the issue was reported again two times in February: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/CA+G9fYvN0NyaVkRQmA1O6rX7H8PPaZrUAD7=RDy33... https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YhofdlzadzRmy7tj@debian/
And the fix is relative simple, that's why I wonder why merging is delayed. What am I missing?
My radar just missed it, though someone else should have realised it was necessary on fixes earlier, it also had incorrect Fixes: tagging, so I fixed that and sent it to Linus,
Thanks, Dave.
