commit 6104c37094e729f3d4ce65797002112735d49cd1
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date:   Tue Aug 1 17:32:07 2017 +0200

    fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev

we have a static dependency between fbcon and fbdev, and we can
replace the indirection through the notifier chain with a function
call.

What about backlight drivers? [1] Apparently these also use the
notifiers. [2] From my understanding, backlight drivers would stop
working with this change.

I just saw that backlight drivers only care about blanking and
unblanking. Never mind then.

Hi Daniel.

While browsing this nice patch series I stumbled upon a detail.

This breaks build of arch/arm/mach-pxa/am200epd.c thats uses
FB_EVENT_FB_*REGISTERED:


       if (event == FB_EVENT_FB_REGISTERED)
                return am200_share_video_mem(info);
        else if (event == FB_EVENT_FB_UNREGISTERED)
                return am200_unshare_video_mem(info);


Found while grepping for "FB_EVENT" so this is not a build
error I triggered.

Oh this is glorious :-/

Thanks a lot for spotting this, I guess I need to hack around on
metronomefb a bit ...

I did screw this up for one event for the mode changes. But should be
fixed in the next series.

I also added a patch to simplify the backlight/lcd notifier, since it
doesn't need to filter events anymore after this series - the only events
left are the ones backlight cares about.

Cheers, Daniel
