    SCSI works as a module and it uses sysfs.
    See drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c.
    Does that answer your question? I wasn't quite sure what
    the question was.

    Next question, based on:
    drivers/built-in.o: In function `probe_edid':
    (.text.probe_edid+0x42): undefined reference to `fb_edid_to_monspecs'

    Should backlight and/or display support depend on
    CONFIG_FB? Right now they don't, so the above can happen...
