Thanks for the reply :) So I want to submit a patch of updating Kconfig in drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:
config FB_BROADSHEET tristate "E-Ink Broadsheet/Epson S1D13521 controller support" - depends on FB + depends on FB && (ARCH_PXA || COMPILE_TEST) select FB_SYS_FILLRECT select FB_SYS_COPYAREA select FB_SYS_IMAGEBLIT select FB_SYS_FOPS select FB_DEFERRED_IO
Do you think it is okay?
Best wishes, Jia-Ju Bai
