Your patch in general looks good. But is renaming the config option from CONFIG_FB_CORE to CONFIG_VIDEO the best choice? CONFIG_VIDEO might be mixed up with multimedia/video-streaming. Why not e.g. CONFIG_GRAPHICS_CORE? I'm fine with CONFIG_VIDEO as well, but if someone has a better idea we maybe should go with that instead now?

We already have CONFIG_VIDEO in drivers/video/Kconfig specifically for such low-level graphics code. For generic multimedia, we could have CONFIG_MEDIA, CONFIG_STREAMING, etc. rather than renaming an established Kconfig symbol.

Various Kconfig options selected the per-architecture helpers for fbdev. But none of the contained code depends on fbdev. Standardize on CONFIG_VIDEO, which will allow to add more general helpers for video functionality. CONFIG_VIDEO protects each architecture's video/ directory. This allows for the use of more fine-grained control for each directory's files, such as the use of CONFIG_STI_CORE on parisc. v2: - sparc: rebased onto Makefile changes Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Cc: "James E.J.
