I applied your patch and compiled it, and got this error while installing modules:
DEPMOD 4.12.0-rc5-test+ depmod: ERROR: Found 11 modules in dependency cycles! depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fbcon -> bitblit -> softcursor -> fb -> fbcon depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: softcursor -> fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> softcursor depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fb depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: softcursor -> fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> softcursor depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fb depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: softcursor -> fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fbcon_cw -> softcursor depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fbcon_cw -> fb depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fbcon_cw -> fb depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fbcon_cw -> tileblit -> fb depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fbcon -> bitblit -> softcursor -> fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fbcon_cw -> tileblit -> fbdev depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: fb -> fbcon_rotate -> fbcon_ccw -> fbcon_ud -> fbcon_cw -> tileblit -> fb /work/git/linux-trace.git/Makefile:1251: recipe for target '_modinst_post' failed
